Report short interest and all relevant information DAILY. End loopholes allowing short interest to be artificially hidden with “married calls/puts.” Do something about the relentless and abusive practice of naked shorting. Everyone sees it but the general public cannot do anything about it. Are shares of everything we own are getting significantly and artificially devalued through this rampant
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. The market is a nonsensical mess as a result of the outdated "regulations" and lack of proper enforcement. You've encouraged a system that promotes Loopholes. Regulatory Notice 21-19 NEEDS to be sweeping across all aspects of reporting and closing and holding and marrying or whatever other terms or strategy's relate to Shorts and Reporting
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective
As all short interest affects market pricing, all transactions between market participants that may be used to mask or hide official short interest numbers should be reported fully and transparently. It is against the idea of a free market to withhold short interest data from all market participants, including retail investors, and to only provide information to professionals.
I am in support of FINRA being in control of the short interest compilation and most fine grained dissemination. I am in support of the most extreme reporting conditions. Reporting should be daily, there is too much time for them to change their books.

Regulatory Notice 21-19 addresses the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant gaps compromising the entirety of 21-19’s purpose. It is critical for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and confidence of investors with in it that all regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in every known circumstance where
Every share should be tracked with unique identifier. Every share should be located and lent only once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily.
I am writing to request that FINRA reform their short-sale and FTD reporting to the highest enforcement standards possible. Specifically, I am concerned that FINRA's current blindness with regard to alternate formations of short interest through "married puts" and arranged financing leads to unquantifiable systemic risk which can then be rolled over indefinitely with low borrow
You need to take care of this mess, or I will never trust the markets again. Naked shorts are ridiculous. Reporting should be done on a daily basis. It’s 2021 and digital storage is cheap. I can’t tell you how angry I am at this whole game stop saga.

To Whom it May Concern, Thank you for requesting comments on this matter. I believe short interest and short sale reporting plays a major part of our current financial structure. Such a major role, that it is surprising how lax the overall rules are governing this aspect. I'm as smooth brain as they come, but I truly believe in clear and open transparency to the public is a way to help
