Dear Finra, I request you guys to make short selling data more transparent and readily and daily available to the public. Thank you, Jessica Krohn
Short positions should be made pubic knowledge as quickly as hedge funds can see retail investors order flow. We want transparency and accountability.
Comments: A leveraged ETF provides an investor to multiply capital short term without the use of margin. I agree it is not for every investor or everyday use. But removing the option limits participation which is wrong.
I object to any prohibition to banning inverse funds. They are an easy way of shorting markets. It's useful to me to have a small ammount in inverse funds that can be sold to buy stocks in a crash.
All short interest and FTDs need to be reported on a daily basis. Individual investors deserve to know what is going on with their stocks, especially when the entire system is computerized.
Yes on 21-19 we all need more transparency in short positions and FTD data. In real time would be nice to truly make it a fair and free market.
The lack of transparency with short interest is triggering a crisis of confidence in the US markets. The uncertainty regarding systemic risk is creating a systemic risk in and of itself. The crisis is just beginning.
I think for a fair and free market it is important that all short positions are reported, why does one side need to be reported but not the other. Let's make it a fair table.
Instead of trying to pass more restrictions for average lower income bracket investors, how about you looking into institutional shorting of stocks? The way they manipulate the market so easily is criminal.
Enhanced reporting on short sales in a timely manner is long overdue. These new rules can and will create a healthier market, far from perfect, but better than yesterday.
