Eric Ellsworth Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19
Synthetic Short Positions FINRA should require firms to reflect synthetic short positions in their short interest reports daily. Exchange-listed Equity Securities FINRA should publish on the FINRA website short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted) daily. Information on Allocations of Fail-To-Deliver Positions Reporting daily allocations of fail-to-deliver positions to FINRA should be mandatory and include a clause that penalizes firms that do not comply. If they fail to report then they will close all positions within 3-days and forfeit any additional alotted time.
