I would like Finra to adopt the following measures. 1. Report every time a share is lent and create a tracking system so the same share cannot be lent more than once. 2. Force the RegSho requirements of FTD to attach to the stock/obligation so the T+35 is not reset through measures such as swaps or other derivatives trading. 3.
