I believe in requiring firms to reflect synthetic short positions in short interest reports. For example, enhanced short interest reporting could include synthetic short positions achieved through the sale of a call option and purchase of a put option (where the options have the same strike price and expiration month) or through other strategies. FINRA believes this information would assist FINRA in understanding the scope of market participants’ short sale activity, specifically regarding the use of less-traditional means of establishing short interest.

The market is broken. Please enforce more rules/regulations regarding illegal sale of shares, market manipulation, and all around shady actions from market makers and HFs. I make minimum wage, and only invest what I'm comfortable with, but it's nearly impossible to gain any traction when the market is so corrupted. Tempted to remove my funds from the market as a whole and stash my cash in a mattress. It's probably safer there than a fire prone home. Help the little guy support a family, buy a house, and maybe retire a little early. Im not asking for 26+million a month...

There isn’t ANY transparency within the market. Dark pools need to be GONE. SSR needs to be enforced much more strictly. FTDs need to be enforced without delay. The hedge funds leash is way too long. Nobody will trust the market after this.

Shorts should publicly announce their position and SSR should stop shorting in general. On dark pools as well.

More transparency in reporting, and a crackdown on malpractice

Daily short reporting Bigger - significant fines for false reporting. 1:1 with share price so they cannot consider it as “cost of business”

Would be a nice start to at least give retail investors the illusion of a level playing field even though everyone knows that it never will be. When AMC and GME have their final bounce retail will hold their money and never invest in Wall Street again.

I would like you to do your job and enforce your rules regulations and other such items. Thank you Have a great day.

I don't know about this short sale rule. I live in Sweden and I always thought that the US is a country that treat's everyone equal. Since I bought stock on the US market the only thing I feel is that every time someone mentioned a rule I just take it whit a grain of salt because nothing happens whit the market. You can make thousand more rules but it doesn't matter because no one is following them.

I believe, along with many others that requiring firms to report short interest data more frequently, along with more precise FTD, settlement, and threshold list information will level the playing field between large institutions and the ever growing retail trader crowd. With more technology allowing the average person to invest for themselves I believe these changes are now necessary to instill confidence in our markets. I appreciate that these changes are being considered and look forward to hearing the outcome!
