Many times I’ve visited your site and don’t believe the short interest numbers to be correct . We need transparency in the markets so the media cannot twist words however they seem appropriate for their agenda . I see the world moving to fascism it’s started to look the the beginning of world war 2 .

Short positions should be force closed on failure to deliver. The ability to cover a failed delivery with options or collateral does not excuse that an investor is actually stolen from with a failure to deliver. Also of concern, the "can kicking" through synthetic share production by means of options contracts. No one should be allowed to have 400 million put contracts on the books. Is this not the same as saying they are purchasing the right to sell 4 billion shares? What if that number of shares doesn't exist for the company? How is there not oversight of this?

That [REDACTED] needs to be automated and updated hourly, if not by the minute.

As an investor, I feel hedge funds are exploiting some rules and feel somewhat unaffected by them It would be for the most interest, that the short sales were reported hourly, and in case of borrowing shares, that those shares are accounted and tracked, and blocked for trading for a minimum of 15 trading days before being released again

The revelations of opacity around short selling, trade settlement, and unlit off-exchange trading is deeply troubling and an abomination to the ideals of free and transparent capital markets. The delay and self reporting of short interest, coupled with lack of meaningful deterrents like imprisonment or material fines (fining Robinhood $70 million for their role in the January Gamestop shenanigans is an amount so paltry relative to their revenue and profit, it can only be considered a bribe), results in daily market manipulation and theft from the average retail investor.

Short selling may be a necessary evil in the market, but anyone caught with a naked short position should immediately be forced to close their entire position. The absurd reality of selling something that doesn't exist is just that, ABSURD!

Request to ban naked short selling and to implement rules that curb it (e.g., T-0). Increase transparency of market makers. Follow in other countries' footsteps in bringing criminal charges and impactful fines ($1B+) against violaters.
