More in-depth information should be readily available, and the loop holes that exist be closed or at least monitored better. Regularly audit the reported positions to ensure the self reporting is accurate and fine (or penalize in a way that will actually deter the same actions in the future) entities that misreport. This would include going deep to ensure that no shorts are being hidden in long
All short sale information should be available to all traders! ALL of it! Also, Dark Pools should be outlawed. Or at least, if blocks are bought on a dark pool, they should reflect the price on the retail charts. No more secrete crooked trading!

The scope of volume seen in trading is absolutely daunting, and I think the first question that should be asked regarding any information being collected is whether it is purely self-reported, or if there is
These rules changes seem to be helpful except for the "alternatively" found all over the place. Make all these rules in effect, no alternatives. FINRA should get all the information possible about any financial activity and make as much as possible of that information public. The originator of a short position should be on the hook for the short position. Currently, if a market maker
Comments: Regarding FINRA Regulatory Notice 22-08.
I was forced into early retirement as a result of Covid. As such, I was forced into living off my IRA earlier than planned. I have been investing and trading for 45 years. I am a small retail trader. I occasionally employ the use of leveraged and inverse ETFs to protect against losses or to enhance returns with due regard for their intended
Hello, I wholeheartedly support FINRA's step toward a vastly more transparent system. FINRA requests comment on whether FINRA should publish on the FINRA website short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted). • Yes, absolutely all short interest data should be published.
