FINRA 21-19 is long overdue. Outdated short interest reporting policy has resulted in systemic risk to the integrity of US markets. While many of the policies mentioned in regulatory notice 21-19 generals address exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also have significant loop holes that would defeat the entire purpose of 21-19. It is critical for the restoration of stability in both the US

Comments: Hello Finra, Readx3. I enjoy using inverse ETFs. They are not complex. It accomplishes a similar result to shorting a stock but with out having to get a margins account.

Money managers have all the data as they see the counts coming in. Why not let the “retail investor” see the shares going out?

FINRA 21-19 is a regulatory change we must incorporate and enforce in our markets. It is clear to me as a retail investor that the integrity of the US market has been strained, and personally I have lost almost all faith in it. This sentiment stems from the regulatory and enforcement failure in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short
