Data transparency is a must of having reliability, responsibility, and accountability within in financial industry. Without the full faith and trust in a fair system, myself and other investors would see no reason to put our hard earned money at risk to the "Wall Street Boys Club". As such, all information about short sale positions, short interest, etc. must be publicly and freely
I am a "retail investor" who has been aware of naked shorting for over 10 years, being invested in Inovio Pharmaceuticals, one of the most shorted stocks in the market. The manipulation of the share price over the years has been criminal. As stated on your website, "FINRA is authorized by Congress to protect America’s investors by making sure the broker-dealer industry operates
Finra 21-19 is crucial to the integrity of the US stock market. Transparency and equal access to data is essential. The current imbalance in reporting and reporting requirements is severely crippling. The unlimited risk of naked short selling should not be allowed in our country.

I would love to have complete transparency in the market. Synthetic, naked shorts, all of it. Regulate the trading to make it fair. No high frequency trading algorithms that can easily manipulate the market and prevent retail investors from having a fair shot. I would really like to see all short information reported daily. Lastly, actual enforcement by the SEC of malpractice, instead of slaps on
I simply want an open, free market for trade and investment. It is not, and entities such as the SEC and FINRA allow it to be in the favor of hedgefunds and investment firms with large amounts of capital.
