Yes, short interest should be reported daily or at least weekly and in real time. Not you report today what interest was two weeks ago. Also why take a firms word for it what their short interest is. It should not be self reporting. Should be a system in place to confirm what they are reporting is true. Then finally, the most important thing. MAKE HEDGE FUNDS ACTUALLY REPAY THE SHARES THEY BORROW
The current price manipulation with AMC/GME et al has exposed the stock market corruption. All reporting agencies and SEC rules don’t make a difference in protecting the big money from the everyday average trader. It seems to me that the rules only apply to the small investor and protect big money instead. It’s all an incestuous relationship between the SEC, FINRA, DTCC and the like and the big

FTDs need to be enforced without delay. Actual substantial fines for FTDs, naked short selling to discourage illegal

To Whom it May Concern:
Leveraged investments have been a critical PORTION of my overall portfolio and long term strategy for years. While not the smoothest of rides it is a leveraged investment strategy based on the SP500 and US Treasuries and moves correspondingly with market movements of what I think one would agree are very sound investments.

Dear FINRA,
I heard that regulations are being considered by FINRA to make certain popular complex investments unavailable to by bought by general public, including leveraged and inverse funds.
Ive been using leveraged ETFs in particular for long time as investment and trading vehicles and Im very concerned that myself and other market participants will no longer be able to buy those ETFs. I
We should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us and our family. And public should be treated equal, public investment should be available to all of the public not just the privileged.
We should not go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am using leveraged fund to gain exposure to
