Short interest should be live data. There is no excuse in this day and age for up to date information available at the touch of a button. The fact we have to wait 2 weeks for this and the information is already 2 weeks out of date just screams that there are underhanded things afoot. Large institutions and hedge funds have an unfair advantage over retailers as they have better access to more data

Dear FINRA regulators,
I respectfully and strongly oppose further restrictions on my right to invest. Public securities should be something anyone in the public trading space should have free access to, regardless of income, occupation, net worth, or privilege. This includes leveraged and inverse funds, things I often use to hedge or trade in a tactical manner in my own portfolio. My volatility

I've been using such investments for years and without them would never have been able to retire safely. Removing this type of investment from all
Please excuse the form comment but the OP stated my concerns better than I could articulate. FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies
