I would like to see the following changes: Require that firms include synthetic short positions On the FINRA website- Make available short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted).

I believe in requiring firms to reflect synthetic short positions in short interest reports. For example, enhanced short interest reporting could include synthetic short positions achieved through the sale of a call option and purchase of a put option (where the options have the same strike price and expiration month) or through other strategies. FINRA believes this information would assist FINRA
To Whom It May Concern, Regarding the Proprietary and Customer Account Categorization, I support specifying short interest held across proprietary accounts and customer accounts for each equity security as of the close of the reporting settlement data.
