Hello FINRA, There needs to be way more transparency when it comes to short selling. It seems short sellers have endless loopholes that allow them to “hide” their true short positions. It certainly appears the lack of rule enforcement and lack of short sell information gives the hedge funds and MMs an unfair upper hand compared to retail investors. Fairness, enforcing rules and providing all short position data would go a long way in leveling the playing field.
