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

As a self-regulatory conglomerate it is beyond the reasoning of a "retail" investor as to why such ordinances do not already exist. The SEC itself has proclaimed naked-short selling to be a well established predatory and dangerous practice that undermines the free-market operations of millions of non-institutional investors who cannot play by the same rules.

FINRA published the 2024 Industry Snapshot, the annual statistical report on registered representatives, brokerage firms and market activity that FINRA oversees.
The Digital Communication section of the 2019 Report on Exam Findings informs member firms’ compliance programs by describing recent findings and observations from FINRA’s examinations, and, in certain cases, also providing a summary of effective practices.
