I believe all short interest data should be released daily. Explain to me why everyone of my long position buys are documented daily and can be used against me to short by those that don’t have to disclose. I also don’t believe dark pools eliminate a free and equitable economic opportunity for everyone.
All positions should be reported and transparent, otherwise nefarious intent and actions are more likely to happen with those which are not required. History is a prime example of this. Expose the shorts, and enforce guild lines and regulations regarding covering positions of said shorts. end the farce. Stop manipulation of the markets, and route transactions to LIT Markets.
I strongly believe financial institutions should be required to report their short positions daily. The problem of naked shorting (and related naked calls/puts) has turned Wall Street into one of the largest havens for fraud in the world, and it puts companies that otherwise would have a fighting chance at great risk of being ruined by bad actors.

There is risk investing in the stock market already and we don't need the regulators to impose any restriction on our abilities to buy and sell any stocks, especially those that we may already have positions established. New regulations for existing stocks, including current leveraged and inverse funds, expose investors to unnecessary risks beyond our initial decisions to buy or sell.
Stop trying to limit investment options for individual investors! There is absolutely no good reason for this recent push to regulate inverse and leveraged ETFs. If people/hedge funds can use leverage and short markets in other ways then why not via ETF?! Unless for some reason you don't want individuals to have a convenient option to short or use leverage?? Bizarre use of your time. -Sean

Executive Summary
On June 5, 1995, the NASD issued Special Notice to Members 95-43 (Special Notice) discussing the expansion of the Limit-Order Protection Interpretation (Interpretation) to Article III, Section 1 of the NASD Rules of Fair Practice that prohibits member firms from
Rule 606 of Regulation NMS requires broker-dealers to disclose information regarding the handling of their customers’ orders in NMS stocks and listed options. These disclosures are designed to help customers better understand how their firm routes and handles their orders, assess the quality of order handling services provided by their firm, and ascertain whether the firm is effectively managing potential conflicts of interest that may impact their firm’s routing decisions.
Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest. Fines should also be such that they accumulate to a point that a rule breaker will not be able to just choose to keep paying the fine and committing the crime.
