Short interest reporting needs to be far more robust than is currently required. Self reporting of short positions, with the history being what it is, is a dangerous powder keg with huge ramifications for peoples' livelihoods. We need a sytem of checks and balances and to not rely on self reporting from parties who have shown a complete disregard for the rules time and time again. It's
I have invested in plenty of your so-called complex instruments with a small account and have yet to blow any of them up. Infact I regularly use them as a way to hedge and short markets instead of taking the risk of actually shorting and being open to a theoretical infinite loss.
Would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. Short sellers get away with too much and its not fair for retail. For example amc, gme, clov.
I am ashamed at how blatantly our markets are built to generate wealth for a select few at the expense of main st businesses and people. It is an embarrassment that over 100% of a company could be sold short. It is an embarrassment that wall st firms can sell millions of shares short, but mark them long and continue to do business with a laughable fine. It is honestly hard to take FIRNA seriously

If "market makers" are allowed to break rules, including the creation of millions of fake shares, they are given the power to destroy

Why still, is there any reason for trades to be not reportable? Secrecy within trading needs to stop. There needs to be more transparency from all parties involved. “...considering including in FINRA-disseminated short interest data, where available the TSO and public float for securities?” What do you mean “where available”? You are the Financial Regulatory Authority, you should make that
Regulatory Notice 21-19 addresses the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant gaps compromising the entirety of 21-19’s purpose. It is critical for the restoration of both the stability of the US markets and confidence of investors with in it that all regulation changes regarding short interest reporting be effective in every known circumstance where
