Retail trader here I believe FINRA 21-19 is long over due the integrity of the United States market depends on it and here's why. The policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

To whom it may concern, Yes, I believe daily or even weekly reporting of short interest positions would be a step in the right direction providing retail investors confidence that the markets can indeed work for them also. I think it would be extremely useful if entities were required to report synthetic short positions if only to make market makers more honest and not let them overleverage thus
Inverse fund products provide a necessary alternative to shorting an over-valued security while minimizing the risk with a direct short of a security. Additionally, leveraged products are an alternative to margining ones account, which can lead to margin calls. Lastly, most brokerages have internal controls to limit individual's exposure to any risks that may be associated with
I believe all short interest data should be released daily. Explain to me why everyone of my long position buys are documented daily and can be used against me to short by those that don’t have to disclose. I also don’t believe dark pools eliminate a free and equitable economic opportunity for everyone.
All positions should be reported and transparent, otherwise nefarious intent and actions are more likely to happen with those which are not required. History is a prime example of this. Expose the shorts, and enforce guild lines and regulations regarding covering positions of said shorts. end the farce. Stop manipulation of the markets, and route transactions to LIT Markets.
Stop trying to limit investment options for individual investors! There is absolutely no good reason for this recent push to regulate inverse and leveraged ETFs. If people/hedge funds can use leverage and short markets in other ways then why not via ETF?! Unless for some reason you don't want individuals to have a convenient option to short or use leverage?? Bizarre use of your time. -Sean

Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest. Fines should also be such that they accumulate to a point that a rule breaker will not be able to just choose to keep paying the fine and committing the crime.
Failure to delivers on short positions should be set in stone and enforced throughly and simply. For example, you take a short position out and there should be a time frame on when you have to return them and once that time frame is hit, THEY HAVE TO DELIVER THEM. no funny business. No borrowing more shares to cover previous ones.
