Recommend weekly reporting by from financial institutions and made public on stocks shorted and positions held for shorted stocks. Require increase financial penalties in excess of 75% of invested value to errors in reporting shorted positions
I am in favor for an increase in short interest reporting regulation. More notably in adopting new regulations to have synthetic short positions reported to FINRA. Also short interest reporting should be increased from twice a month to daily and the dissemination should go down from 7 days to 2 days.
