Hi there, thank you for reading my comment. I support all of these new rules. However, re: rule #1, I would like to see that in conjunction with rule #2, not as an alternative to it. I also believe all short interest data should be reported on a daily basis not just to FINRA but also to the public as this data is crucial to some trading strategies and I believe it is available to institutions but
These rule changes are long overdue - public faith in equity markets represent a vital economic and strategic strength of the US and our position in global finance. There will be specific firms that lobby to oppose these rules for their own selfish near term purposes - but they are ultimately short sighted and against the public interest. Tens of millions of Americans rely on equity markets now
Addressed to Yvonne Huber & Racquel Russel. Thank you both for requesting comment on Short Interest Position Reporting. I find it hopeful and positive that FINRA has acknowledged a gap in their ability to oversee Short Interest and Fail-To-Deliver Positions. In order to protect American investors (many of whom rely on equity positions ins 401Ks and IRAs to have a hope of retirement) FINRA
Dear FINRA;
Please do not add 'nanny state' type restrictions on inverse and leveraged ETF's. As an investor, I need access to a variety of investment options, including long and short leveraged ETF's.
The introduction of onerous restrictions on investing in these types of funds would not serve the public interest.
Retail trader here I believe FINRA 21-19 is long over due the integrity of the United States market depends on it and here's why. The policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose. It is important for the restoration of both the
To whom it may concern, Yes, I believe daily or even weekly reporting of short interest positions would be a step in the right direction providing retail investors confidence that the markets can indeed work for them also. I think it would be extremely useful if entities were required to report synthetic short positions if only to make market makers more honest and not let them overleverage thus
Over the past few months, it has become clear that there is a lot of vital market data that is not accessible to the average retail trader. It is not a free and fair market when dark pool trading makes up the majority of trades. The dark pool in essence is a legal black market for trading and it is very exclusive. New and old retail traders have realized the market manipulation that is occurring
The revelations of opacity around short selling, trade settlement, and unlit off-exchange trading is deeply troubling and an abomination to the ideals of free and transparent capital markets. The delay and self reporting of short interest, coupled with lack of meaningful deterrents like imprisonment or material fines (fining Robinhood $70 million for their role in the January Gamestop shenanigans
Please investigate and better report short interest with etfs XTSLA, IJR,IWM . More transparency is needed with failure to delivers and dark pools. AMC and GME look like they are being heavily manipulated in every which way possible. Help end corruption and theft.
The current state the US market is full of fraud and manipulation. There is definitely a need for change. It’s a massive conflict of interest when a company is a hedge fund and a market maker!! All shares, synthetic and short, needs to reported daily and posted for retail investors. The market makers/hedge funds have all the information in front of them to make their informed decision.
