As a retail investor, I am concerned about the fairness of the current financial system. Having read many theoretical posts on r/Superstonk about the economy and doing my own research, I believe that more regulation on shorting is necessary in order to avoid the unfair devaluation of companies and protect smaller companies from its effects. In particular, more needs to be done about Fail-to-
Pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission request, FINRA has agreed to make reported short sale trade data publicly available. FINRA will make two types of files available: (1) Daily Short Sale Volume Files and (2) Monthly Short Sale Transaction Files.
I believe if we want true transparency and a free market than shorts should have to report 100% of interest and short position. The SSR should be looked at for loopholes. Shorting is necessary but should be strongly regulated for the safety of U.S. companies.
Hello i would just like to comment on how unfair it is to individual investors that market makers and hedge funds can route trades through the dark pools as they see fit with no oversight. I would suggest that you eliminate dark pools and make the fines greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal the illegal trading activity.

FINRA 21-19 is a regulatory change we must incorporate and enforce in our markets. It is clear to me as a retail investor that the integrity of the US market has been strained, and personally I have lost almost all faith in it. This sentiment stems from the regulatory and enforcement failure in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that there is a systematic flaw in the United States market that if continued, will lead to disaster. A large part of this issue is the outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific
