I would like to see daily short interest reported with one hundred percent transparency. Not self reported with omissions, so that we can understand natural price movent in stocks without manipulation.
Dear Finra, My name is Kevin, as a retail investor the only thing I personally request in behalf of all retail traders is a fair market. Meaning no manipulation of stocks, naked short selling of stocks that are not even of existence. I have come to realize that none of these illegal practices are being taken in to consideration as far as correction. Hedge funds have been doing this for years and
Good evening FINRA, While these increased reporting requirements around the currently broadly abused short selling practices in the stock market (including naked shorting, mis-reporting longs as shorts, re-hypothecated shares, married puts/calls, and fails to deliver) are a step in the right direction, the proposed changes do not go far enough to provide transparency and fairness to the public.

They need to be
Retail investors do not typically have much to say during these critical junctures in financial history, but given the recent tumultuous events of the last year, and the potential systematic failures that can be eliminated by 21-19, I felt the need to lend my voice to the effort. Regardless of the viability of short selling as a legitimate investment strategy, the inefficacies introduced by short
The reporting of shorts and especially synthetic shorts have been overlooked for a very long time, because of this I absolutely believe this will benefit every single investor. These rules should be implemented and require daily reporting to the public by the firms FINRA regulates.

Taking away my right to choose what I invest in (especially ETFs)and making me run a gauntlet that I may not successfully navigate makes no sense. There are many other
