Hello, As an active investor in the US stock market i would like to suggest following comments to the rule: Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements and Other Changes Related to Short Sale Reporting.

We want transparency in the market Computers count everything every second so they should be able to report everything every day We want real time data or end of day at least No dark pool Everyone wants to play by the same rules is not such a hard thing to understand. Place your bet then deal the cards... Retail investors are crippled by rules and regulations while hedge funds and institutions break rules or change them with little or no consequence Make it an even playing field

When a hedge fund/market maker takes a short position, and their position turns into failure to deliveries, why are they allowed to just pass that position around between each other (market makers/hedge funds) in order to reset the 13 day clock that should have forced them to cover? If a retail user gets margin called because of their position they can't pass it to another retail user indefinitely so they don't have to fix their situation.

I don’t know a ton about finance or the stock market. I know less about options and derivatives (I did watch a PBS program about Brooksley Born once) and that is all I really knew on the matter. But I’m learning more every day and the more I learn the more I’m convinced that there is perhaps something rotten in the DTCC, SEC and FINRA… to name a few. It seems financial regulators refuse to do their job – and that job in my not so humble opinion is: To regulate in a manner that keeps the financial investing arena fair and equitable.

AMC has magically come off of the threshold list. A real time example of no transparency is the fact that there are many different speculations as to how that happens after being on it for 10 days with no price movement. (The bigger short laddering happened on Thursday and AMC was on the list on Friday still). It wasn't until late Friday it became apparent that it had been taken off. Is there a reason we don't know which funds sold and which funds took on the FTDs if it was simply transferred?

As an individual investor I believe the regulations are not strong enough for big institutions to care. I wish for more details in public reports, more frequent reporting in general but mostly more frequent, even daily, public reports of short/put positions. I think that the current reporting cycle makes it easy for big institutions to "cover up" illegal positions. Also I believe higher fines for reporting wrong data or delaying the report would be adequate since it fools individual investors.

PUBLIC INFORMATION ON SHORTING, DETAILED AND BROADCASTED TO THE PUBLIC DAILY!! I HAVE RIGHTS TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON WITH MONEY INVESTED AND SO DO 4.1 MILLION PEOPLE..

There are lots of rules. Few are enforced. There are lots of fines, but none that actually deter illegal market practices. Enforce and fine accordingly with imprisonment and insolvency. No more illegal manipulation thru dark pools, no more illegal shorts and fraudulent shares, no more hiding short positions, no more kicking ftds down the road.

Hello, I wholeheartedly support FINRA's step toward a vastly more transparent system. FINRA requests comment on whether FINRA should publish on the FINRA website short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted). • Yes, absolutely all short interest data should be published. FINRA requests comment on whether the potential short interest enhancements discussed above would be equally beneficial for both OTC equity securities and exchange-listed equity securities.

Since so many naked shorts are linked with FTDs, why don't you enforce the current rules regarding FTDs? Hedgefunds and Market Makers are currently "kicking the can" down the road and hiding Naked Shorts. I have seen estimations of FTDs that total into the $TRILLIONS of dollars and FINRA & the SEC are going to be complicit in the coming recession/depression caused by unfettered naked short sales and the blatant lack of enforcement of the rules regarding same. Why is the EU ahead of the curve on this and in the same thought, why is the U.S. not?
