Hello. I would like to see all short interest positions reported with a T+1. Transparency in the stock market is important and currently there is too much hidden from the general public. Please make the changes necessary for the public to believe in fairness in the stock market. Because currently, the general public believe it's heavily skewed towards those individuals/institutions with more
Improved reporting for short positions is long overdue. As proven by the research done on "meme stocks" like GME and AMC there are a wide variety of ways for institutions to hide their short positions from others. Some of these include shorting of ETFs, using married puts and other options plays and simply lying with willingness to accept a small fine. The market overall needs more

*Short positions should be reported daily. I feel that this will provide more insight to the existence of Naked Shorts. *Synthetic Short Positions should most assuredly be reported. *Short volume should be capped and the cap kept low to allow for organic and transparent trading and limit the opportunity to manipulate the stock. *Dark pools should no longer be allowed. *Days on loan should be
Please put these new rules in place. We need transparency in our markets, especially with regard to short selling and dark pool activity. Naked shorting, short ladder attacks, spoofing, as well as online intimidation is taking place on stocks like AMC and many others for that matter and it just isn’t fair to the American people.

The reporting requirements of short interest and short positions has long been due for reform. Running rampant in the market has been illegal market manipulation of stock prices utilizing failures of short reporting, specifically regarding short-exempt shares, naked short-selling, short positions being reported as long positions, hiding failure-to-delivers inside of far out-of-the-money puts/
