Short interest reporting should be instantaneous. Not sure why the reporting on SI and other short positions data is so delayed and unreliable but for the market to be fair, both sides of positions need to see all data equally for manipulation to be in check. If changes to short data being made available publicly and in reasonable times then I fear the market will never be fair and retail

I think shorting leveraged ETFs should be disallowed. Perhaps that'd go a way in reducing systematic market risk from these financial instruments?

In the name of AMC… the company is a victim of shorting, and likely naked shorting with the recent information on millions of failure to deliver numbers DAILY! What is being done about this? How can we allow this in a free society? This is embarrassing to American markets. How can AMC trade its own float multiple times a week?
Short selling to bankrupt a company should be illegal. Not that the legal system does anything about the naked shorting that's being abused. Short selling is essential to the market, but something needs to actually be done to the hedge funds who abuse this system. It's not fair and it's not right.
