Short reporting needs to be real-time, or End Of Day. The ability to Naked Short should not be allowed at any point. The people or entities shorting companies into bankruptcy should be prosecuted for doing so when illegal processes are used.
I am in favor for an increase in short interest reporting regulation. More notably in adopting new regulations to have synthetic short positions reported to FINRA. Also short interest reporting should be increased from twice a month to daily and the dissemination should go down from 7 days to 2 days. I'm also in agreement to the purposed FTD changes, actually have any and all FTD settled in
