Christen W. Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

A. Providing short interest information to the public for free is a requirement to ensure the retail public's trust in the market. Without access to this information, the average retail investor is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to making trading decisions. Finra should take charge and publish this information daily, so retail investors can make timely decisions about their trading strategy and not have to guess based on data that is two weeks old by the time it is released.

Edward Shipp Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

Hi, These detailed changes are very important for a lot of people. They would leave the market as a much more transparent way to invest as there would be less reliance on rumour surrounding primarily short interest and synthetic shares. The companies involved in these large amounts of share borrowing would be much more open to legal action as illegal activity would be more obvious. These changes would do nothing but good, allowing retail investors to get a broader knowledge of their investment targets before entering any positions.
