I am in favor for an increase in short interest reporting regulation. More notably in adopting new regulations to have synthetic short positions reported to FINRA. Also short interest reporting should be increased from twice a month to daily and the dissemination should go down from 7 days to 2 days. I'm also in agreement to the purposed FTD changes, actually have any and all FTD settled in
All reports should be consolidated for all markets in one location where it is easily accessible to all investors. FTDs should be reported daily and should be required to be cleared within a a T3 timeline without exception.

I would suggest that you eliminate dark pools and make the fines greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal the illegal trading activity. Jail time is needed for market manipulation and short positions
Anything and everything related to short positions, including synthetic or naked shorts should be made as transparent as possible, as soon as possible. No more shuffling around FTD's, no more short ladder attacks, no more waiting days/weeks for the data to be published. Level the playing field for all.
