Board Approves Rule Proposal to Shorten the Securities Settlement Cycle to T+1 Consistent with Recent SEC Rule Changes, and Allocation of 2022 Fine Monies
WASHINGTON—FINRA’s Board of Governors met on March 9-10 for the first time in 2023. The board approved a rule proposal to amend FINRA rules to conform to the SEC’s rule changes to shorten the securities settlement cycle and discussed a variety
Greetings, Not sure why FINRA has not come out with a report in the last three quarters, but the information it provides is completely valid and incredibly important to me as an individual investor. Also, I wish their was some working enforcement in place to discourage naked short selling and the unethical trade practices being used to manipulate a stocks true value.
Please approve the new rules to tighten up short interest reporting requirements. There are too many loopholes that short traders use to hide and obfuscate their true short interest (eg hiding shorts in deep OTM put contracts) which puts retail traders at an information disadvantage, which is anathema to free market principles.

Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent. I appreciate your efforts, but share selling will never be put into check until dark pools are eliminated.
The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This
More transparency in short positions is necessary for a fair market.

FINRA should make more information about short sales public as well as investigate further into how synthetic shares are being created and hidden.
As described in a December 2019 TRACE Technical Notice, beginning June 1, 2020, members were required to begin to report transactions in U.S. Treasury Securities executed to hedge a List or Fixed Offering Price Transaction or a Takedown Transaction (as defined in FINRA Rule 6710) with an appropriate identifier.
Due to current market conditions, and to allow members to adequately plan
