Jessica Millhouse Comment On Regulatory Notice 21-19

As a retail investor, I firmly believe that the market NEEDS more transparency and regulation. If the FINRA is going to collect information on short interest accounts, arraigned financing agreements, and Failure or To Delivers, they should collect as much information as possible and retail investors should be able to use that information to make informed decisions. A. Publication of Short Interest for Exchange-listed Equity Securities. All information gathered on this topic should be published publically and not condensed or consolidated. B. Content of Short Interest Data. Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes. All of the proposed data should be collected and disseminated publicly. It would not only help investors and brokers, it would help businesses to remain solvent against short selling attacks. (And synthetic short positions should not exist). C. Frequency and Timing of Short Interest Position Reporting and Data Dissemination. Twice a month is not sufficient. These reports should be submitted on a daily basis, and then disseminated publicly as quickly as possible. Thank you for your request of my input, I hope that this helps you on your quest to make trading fair and open for all investors.
