I have been trading stocks for the better part of 8years, I feel like we need the utmost transparency with regards to short interest data. I do not understand how a stock like AMC keeps getting hammered down or trades sideways on good news as well as millions of investors holding and buying more on the dips. There is definitely something sketchy going on, and unless there is more transparency I
Short interest, shares on loan, order flow data/routing, and all other information available to institutional investors should be available to other market participants to promote true market equality. The same sentiment holds true for the timeliness in the availability of reporting data. The current market structure fails to protect self-directed investors from market manipulation and fraudulent
Please, I am asking for a more transparent and up to date form of reporting short interest and dark pool information. All of these ideas listed above are what I want. The fact that large players in the market have info that retail investors do not, creates an unfair advantage. All we are asking for is transparent, accurate, and immediate information, along with the timely enforcement of rule
I should always be able to choose the investments that are right for my portfolio. Public investments like leveraged and inverse funds should be available to everyone and not just the privileged so called experts. This restriction sounds familiar to the last time the market began to pull back in 2007/2008 and I find it interesting that every time the government prints more money and the Fed

It is highly discriminatory toward small investors like myself to limit our ability to invest in inverse and leveraged etfs. Small investors dont have the resources to short stocks and employ margin accounts to enhance their gains the way professionals do. An inverse etf allows you to hedge your portfolio during rising interest rates. If an etf goes against you all you need to do to protect
Short selling, as a tool was intended to hit back at corporations that were found to be cooking the books. Unfortunately, today it is a tool with nefarious intention with no regard for the impact it might have have on an otherwise good company, it's entire employee base and downstream jobs it involves itself in. As one who has managed portfolios and also invests privately it has never been
So as we all know regular investors would like to have a fiat play on the market. Reporting more accurate short interest and positions would help us control the unlawful actions that have been hurting market for years. The people the use those techniques to make more money they would be stoped. I am AMC share holder and I want my voice to be hard we want equality we need to start making that
I would like to comment on two particular components of 21-19. -"It is possible that the public dissemination of more granular data could discourage short-selling activity, which is an important mechanism for both efficient pricing and for liquidity provision. We also request comment on potential negative outcomes of making this information publicly available on an aggregated basis." -
