It seems to me, and many others from reading comments, that the short sale reporting features are very lacking in up to date data and it seems the delay is used to protect those whom are abusing the system. The OTC non-ATS trading system seems to be another area that is wildly abused by market manipulators and needs to have a complete overhaul, if not completely done away with. It appears that
1. Require shares to be acquired before they can be sold. It is ridiculous that today shares are often not even located or are only located before actually being sold. Borrow the shares first, then sell them. 2. Better tracking of borrowed shares. It is ridiculous that shares can be leant out multiple times (often because they are only 'located' and not actually obtained before allowed
I am seeking further transparency for short interest position reporting. SEC is doing nothing to end the corruption.
I support complete transparency. Please make all short positions public information to remove barriers that serve the 1%.

Inverse funds provide a far safer way to hedge investments to the downside vs. shorting stocks directly. They play an important role in any portfolio.
I shouldnt have to take a test to use inverse funds, its not right when shorting a stock, using puts and calls are essentially equal in results.
A regulator should not restrict the ability of a private investor to invest/trade any leveraged ETF nor should there be any restriction on shorting the market through an ETF.
As an investor in a short ETF of the S&P, I take exception to regulators entering into the process of what ETFs, I can purchase. I am well aware of the risks associated with it.
Allowing only certain investors the ability to invest in these funds is nothing short of criminal, unfair and anti American. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
