All these "considerations" are excellent and much needed. Since their is a loser on the end of every trade you really have to level the playing field. Secondly the public can't rely on the system to protect them from manipulation and greed. Enforcement of these rules would go a long way towards fixing that.

I agree with these changes. Short interest should be reported daily. Synthetic shorts absolutely need to be accounted for! These changes should be implemented ASAP. Not necessarily all at once . We need full transparency in the market! And why is HFT allowed to exist in dark pools? It’s pure market manipulation! Thank you!

1.) Daily Short interest Reporting 2.) Short interest ownership list of any institution. 3.) $1 Trillion fine for Naked Shorting.

"FINRA is considering: (1) modifications to its short interest reporting requirements (Rule 4560); (2) a new rule to require that participants of a registered clearing agency report to FINRA information on allocations to correspondent firms of fail-to-deliver positions; and (3) other potential enhancements related to short sale activity.

I fully support this effort to improve short interest enhancements. When bad actors are allowed to create a synthetic share out of thin air through dishonesty and illegal activity, they pose the potential to put the entire financial system at risk. If "market makers" are allowed to break rules, including the creation of millions of fake shares, they are given the power to destroy companies, established an uneven playing field, and even destroy economies. Look at AMC and GME right now.

As a retail investor, it is very clear and evidenced through obvious stock price manipulation that the market as it is constructed today favors the hedge funds and market makers. Put simply, retail investors want a more transparent market for everyone. Some things that would help: 1. Accurate data reported in real time (short interest, FTD, etc…). Short positions should be reported and released to the public daily. 2. More legitimate regulations and impactful penalties on naked short selling.

Market manipulation has been there over decades. Traditional retailers is suffering more than anytime due to the leverage of capital that’s not based on equal ruling. On top, law enforcement agency has not been obligated with the assigned duty. When will an open and fair market/system be back?

Along with getting updated publicly accessible free short interest daily to level the playing field, hedge funds should have to file their short positions in 13Fs #AMC Naked shorting also needs to be identified and stopped and FTD's need to be purchased. Can't have all these "IOU's"

Stop allowing big entities to manipulate price through large positions

Please modify the rules to make short interest and FTD's more transparent, and the reporting of immediately.
