Greetings, Not sure why FINRA has not come out with a report in the last three quarters, but the information it provides is completely valid and incredibly important to me as an individual investor. Also, I wish their was some working enforcement in place to discourage naked short selling and the unethical trade practices being used to manipulate a stocks true value.
Please approve the new rules to tighten up short interest reporting requirements. There are too many loopholes that short traders use to hide and obfuscate their true short interest (eg hiding shorts in deep OTM put contracts) which puts retail traders at an information disadvantage, which is anathema to free market principles.

I understand FINRA is attempting to create a fairer and transparent market but without strict reporting policies in place you
Accurate short sale tracking is obviously important, but it’s only as useful as the information given on dark pool activities. Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent. I appreciate your efforts, but share selling will never be put into check until dark pools are eliminated.

Its a slippery slope to begin restricting individual Americans from their own poor choices with consequences. Its how we learn & a paternalistic approach retards that learning. When you begin taking away freedoms in a free country, pretty soon anything could be on the chopping block. Instead, how about some nudges toward good choices from our SEC to inform & educate the
I do not trust government officials to be making these restrictions/regulations on us. It does not pass the smell test, it may well be proposed for nefarious political purposes.
Another suspicious circumstance is that the Mail informing o of this development arrived this afternoon, 5/9/22, and saying the deadline was today, 5/9/22. Hmmm, I wonder what that might be about? It is right now 7:
