Cash account investor here. Never touched and option or margin. Recently during the merger between TRCH and MMAT, "somehow" my longs were charged with HTB interest. With how my knowledge of CUSIP works, my longs should have never been labeled as short. With the crazy time it took to finalize the merger, DTC holding back (buying time?) Preferred Shares, HTB interest on longs that should
1.Reduce the reporting period to weekly (or preferably daily) from biweekly. 2.Require that exchanges report failures to deliver and naked shorts alongside covered shorts. 3.Reduce the holding period for reported days from 4 days to 2 or fewer. 4.Document and release the identities of funds that have open short positions and their sizes.

More transparency in short positions is necessary for a fair market. There are currently too many methods of obscuring the real short interest of certain securities which creates an unfair environment for retail investors. FINRA should make more information about short sales public as well as investigate further into how synthetic shares are being created and hidden.
It is critical for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and the confidence of the investors within it that any and all regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in every known circumstance where effective short positions, synthetic or not, can go unaccounted for for any length of time greater than any other short position reporting deadline.
