I am encouraged that you are considering changes on the subjects of Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements and Other Changes Related to Short Sale Reporting. These changes are will open the way to fair market operations. In the current environment the technology and information for market operations is far superior compared to what is available to regulators and ultimately the public.
Removing our ability to protect our assets and ONLY allowing us to be long stocks is criminal. Why cant we protect our investments? You only want us to lose money if the marker goes down? You crooks need to allow us to short if we want to and STOP trying to control markets so much. GET OUT OF THE MARKETS. Let the free markets be free. If we want to short we should be able to.
Dear Sir/Madam:
Leveraged and inverse funds are a vital part of helping me to hedge my portfolio and avoiding constant trading. I use these tools to short the S&P 500 or other indexes when they have become frothy (in my view). These products reduce the volatility and allow me to stay in core positions longer. I use them as short-term hedges and the risks of staying in them too long
I heard the whining and railing of the uninformed idiocacy during the last down turn. Some were blaming the severity of the drop in stock prices on SHORTs and wanted action taken to BAN them. Are you part of that craze? The small investor or beginners don't necessarily have the avenue to create wealth in a BEAR market. Inverse ETFs and short funds are exceptionally useful to us when used
General’s speaking, the more reporting, the better. Especially when it comes to short interest as well as synthetic short positions.

Everything in the stock market should be electronic, reported as it happens by automated means, and documented for all to see in a central location. Everything in the stock market could be automated and these "market makers" / hedge funds are taking advantage of the system
Short interest reporting by all of these entities should have complete transparency. Failures to report on possible FTD’s, never delivering those shares or marking short positions as long should result in repercussions equal to the actions. Small fines or as they can be referred “the cost of doing business” for some of these funds or entities are unacceptable. Reporting should be even more
I'm a retail investor from Sweden who's been an investor in AMC since January 2021. AMC is the owner of Sweden's largest cinema chain (Filmstaden) and I found it important to try and help a struggling company to survive. Little did I know that short sellers with seemingly endless liquidity tried the exact opposite: to bankrupt the company through short selling and driving down the
