Please implement the following amendments: (1) modifications to its short interest reporting requirements (Rule 4560); (2) a new rule to require that participants of a registered clearing agency report to FINRA information on allocations to correspondent firms of fail-to-deliver positions; and (3) other potential enhancements related to short sale activity.
As a retail investor, I think it is so important to get accurate data. With the amount of fines and rules that have been broken by brokers, we cannot allow for a self-reporting system to continue. We need massive overhauls in our system and it starts with having accurate information, especially when it comes to short interest.
I believe it’s the utmost importance that the short report of any kind, should be an information declared daily. Only then we shall have a market more equal and attractive to retail and everyone else. I appreciate very much the opportunity to let our voices be heard. Thanks, Felipe Borges
I would like to see more information and transparency in reporting of short sale positions. I am a retail investor and would like an even playing field with hedge funds. I understand that other markets have stopped the short share positions to stimulate the economy. Thank you for your time
