Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest. Fines should also be such that they accumulate to a point that a rule breaker will not be able to just choose to keep paying the fine and committing the crime.
To pass this regulation and eliminate certain investment vehicles, such as leveraged vehicles or the ability to go short on certain vehicles, implies several onerous things.
