More frequent public reporting of short positions is needed, more detail in public reports, and more transparency for the retail investor. The markets have become a corrupt and lopsided playing field that caters to big money and leaves the retail investor at a decided disadvantage. Hedge funds play by a different set of rules, and then get slapped on the wrist for the kinds of illegal activities
Every investor should have access to the following data(In real time whenever available) -Updates on short interest data -Settlement on transactions - Failure to deliver data -Synthetic short data (so called naked shorts) -13F filings for short positions Additionally the following practices should be either be made illegal or become significantly more regulated * Single side dark pool trading
