On January 31, 2022, FINRA introduced the Participant Data Management System (“PDM”) which firms now use to manage access to the FINRA trade reporting facilities, including TRACE, ORF and ADF. PDM also allows firms to add, view, and modify users of the TRAQS web interface. Firms are strongly encouraged to use PDM to review their TRAQS users on a regular basis to ensure that accounts remain valid
The market is not free. Shorts are a scam. Naked shorting is a scam. In the name of AMC… the company is a victim of shorting, and likely naked shorting with the recent information on millions of failure to deliver numbers DAILY! What is being done about this? How can we allow this in a free society? This is embarrassing to American markets. How can AMC trade its own float multiple times a week?
I support this effort to improve the accuracy, requirements, and meaning behind the short interest metric. A more expansive reporting requirement that captures synthetic short positions would allow FINRA to be better able to understand market participants’ short sale-related activity. As synthetic short positions provide equivalent exposure, information on them may also provide investors and
Short interest reporting should be instantaneous. Not sure why the reporting on SI and other short positions data is so delayed and unreliable but for the market to be fair, both sides of positions need to see all data equally for manipulation to be in check. If changes to short data being made available publicly and in reasonable times then I fear the market will never be fair and retail
These rules changes seem to be helpful except for the "alternatively" found all over the place. Make all these rules in effect, no alternatives. FINRA should get all the information possible about any financial activity and make as much as possible of that information public. The originator of a short position should be on the hook for the short position. Currently, if a market maker
I think shorting leveraged ETFs should be disallowed. Perhaps that'd go a way in reducing systematic market risk from these financial instruments? There are plenty leveraged ETFs designed just for shorting an index and it makes no sense to me that one might prefer shorting the ETF itself. It more easily con-volutes one's thinking than just buying the bearish ETF.
Along with getting updated publicly accessible free short interest daily to level the playing field, hedge funds should have to file their short positions in 13Fs #AMC Naked shorting also needs to be identified and stopped and FTD's need to be purchased. Can't have all these "IOU's"
It is critical for the stability of the US markets and investor confidence that short interest reporting covers every known circumstance where short positions -- synthetic or not -- exists. THE POLICY SHOULD BE COMPREHENSIVE SO THAT NO SHORT POSITION CAN GO UNACCOUNTED FOR. Reporting gaps must be bridged. Policy must be consistently enforced. This is long overdue.
In observance of Christmas and New Year’s Day, FINRA’s Market Transparency Reporting Systems will follow the schedule below:

Good Morning, and thank you for allowing me to comment on the proposed changes to SI reporting. First and foremost in order to make an educated decision in my investments, i believe that SI should be reported DAILY. Also looking through the proposed changes, synthetic shorting reporting...I believe this is also illegal as creating a synthetic short position is akin to counterfeiting . How can an
