Please update the rules to more accurately report short interest and punish violators of misrepresented position. Clearly this should NOT be done through self-reporting (or at least without regular audits), as the institution have too much to gain by not reporting their positions. If an institution trader is allowed to directly attack a company and negatively effect the price through shorting, why should they be able to conceal their attack as a "long position"?

Thank you for this opportunity to allow the people’s voices to be heard. With the intent to create more transparency within the market I submit the following rules to be implemented immediately: Rule 1. All short sales shall be reported to FINRA by end of each settlement day. Rule 2. FINRA shall make public report the day to day short sale by end of settlement day. Rule 3. All unused loaned shares shall be reported to FINRA by end of settlement day. Rule 4. FINRA shall make public the outstanding unused loaned share by end of settlement day. Rule 5.

Short selling is harmful to price discovery. Just stop it.

FINRA is touching on synthetics when short positions are achieved through the sale of a call option and purchase of a put option. Agreed with this but what can you all do on the synthetics via naked shorts because we know that's happening in a huge way? I like the short interest position reporting but you all need to see who and how teeth can be put into this. The reality is organizations are probably cooking their books and the numbers they're submitting are more than likely skewed in their favor.

We need more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detailed reports.

Request a fair level playing friend as a retail investor. Short sale reporting should not be so secretive or delayed amd take weeks to see the reports. Short sale rules must change.

Please do something about naked shorts! Make institutions report more often! The manipulation with $GME and $AMC is ridiculous! Do something!

These rules changes seem to be helpful except for the "alternatively" found all over the place. Make all these rules in effect, no alternatives. FINRA should get all the information possible about any financial activity and make as much as possible of that information public. The originator of a short position should be on the hook for the short position. Currently, if a market maker shorts a bunch of shares to a broker there is no way to know that. The broker is then on the hook for the shares to be delivered but the market maker already said they delivered the shares.
