I would love to see a more timely and accurate reporting of short positions. No-monthly isn’t cutting it. The manipulation happening right now with retail investors money is blatant and should not be tolerated. Recent events have brought to light how unbalanced and unfair the system is for retail investors that pay budgets for these government reporting and enforcement agencies. The market makers
Please go to daily reporting so we the retail investor can be on a par basis with the big money hedge institutional investors. There is no reason short interest and FTDs can’t be reported and tracked daily with the current technology available.
Just want transparency in the stock market. I've only been in the stock market for 6 months but have learned so much by paying attention.

FINRA: First off, thank you for accepting commentary on this matter. We need more transparent markets.

It took me forever to get a foot in the door because the lack of
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
Hedge funds, corporations, and other institutions have information and resources far beyond what the retail investor can access.
