I believe increasing the frequency of reporting would be extremely beneficial, transparency is one of the things that needs to be improved in many aspects in regards to the stock market as a whole. As of right now it is very difficult to find any accurate information on a variety of topics such as mergers, algorithms, the relationships between brokerages and hedge funds etc. short interest and
I do not want to sound uneducated or stupid, but I think that there a lot of shady dealings going on in the stock market and I'm afraid that this will effect my portfolio. Please make all short positions be reported. Do we need dark pools? yes! but I wanna see that information too. We all want a free and fair market. I'm not here to be a financial patsy, for crying out loud gas is like
The manipulation in the market is obvious. Details come out every day that point toward market manipulation. Information has been released on previous manipulation that led to the recession in 2008 and it is obvious that no lessons were learned from that crash.

Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not.

Report Brings Attention to Opportunities and Risks Presented by the Technology
WASHINGTON— FINRA released today a new report, Quantum Computing and the Implications for the Securities Industry.

As a smaller investor (net worth <$1,000,000), I find that there is great value in being able to trade with a leveraged product.
