Timely and accurate information accessible by all participants in the markets only make them better. Daily shorts by number of shares, , Stock borrowed, % of float short, FTD (and even FTR) and changes from last report in all these categories. As a dream data point for me: cost of stock borrowing.

I would want all the of these actions implemented and a DAILY accounting of it in both graphing and table form made available for public consumption. I believe that short positions are a part of the market's functionality. However, only 1 level. That is, a true 1-to-1 correspondence of short to stock share. The delivery date MUST be cut down to 1 day without a 'kick-the-can' down

Questions regarding this Notice
I’m Observing stock price manipulation. It appears market makers are able to borrow naked short positions and engage in algorithmic ladder attacks to subvert a stock’s price.

As an investor, I only ask for a fair market for me and the other I vectors regardless what stock it is.

I am truly disgusted at how the SEC has allowed hedge fund companies, billionaires and millionaires to perform naked shorts against companies like AMC entertainment (AMC) and GameStop (GME). Please make them cover their short positions and penalize them for performing illegal acts in the stock market.
