I'm a retail investor. From my perspective, the entire reason for the (increasingly public) debate over short-selling regulations stems from the loopholes in reporting that are being exploited to the detriment of investors at all levels and to the detriment of the integrity of American markets at large. In this context, I believe the language in this Notice does not go far enough to allay my
I'm a retail trader. I'm glad strongly in favor of enhanced short and FTD reporting requirements. Knowing the true short interest and quantity of FTDs on a security are important metrics for me when I'm evaluating an investment.

I use the leverage etfs to cover the 3 days I would need in some cases for funds available. In other words I use a method that follows the trend and goes long and short depending current conditions.

The market needs to be a level playing field for both institutional traders and retail traders alike. The SEC Needs to take action against illegal activity!
It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of collapse, in large part due to risk resulting under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated, short-interest reporting policy.

You guys need to look into the dark pool, The synthetic shorts, the illegal shorts hedge funds are barrowing and/or taking, the stock manipulation they're doing to both AMC/GME. And certain platforms associated w/ big hedge funds are turning off the "BUY" button with no consequences!!!! This has been going on for years but with these meme stocks it's at an all times high. It
