We as retail investors need to know what is going on in the dark pool. Also, we need to know which institute has what short and the action they took can cause the short effect.
Regulatory Notice 21-19 addresses the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant gaps compromising the entirety of 21-19’s purpose. It is critical for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and confidence of investors with in it that all regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in every known circumstance where
