Please investigate and better report short interest with etfs XTSLA, IJR,IWM . More transparency is needed with failure to delivers and dark pools. AMC and GME look like they are being heavily manipulated in every which way possible. Help end corruption and theft.
Short data needs to be reported every day. Playing field is not equal. Their is no FREE market at this current time and id be a fool to believe there ever was. Fines to these institutions is a joke as well. They need to be made an example of. Land of the free? Nope not us. Land of greed sure.
We (retail investors) simply need to know more information on short positions on all available platforms - free or premium services alike. The information should also be as accurate and as current as possible with little to no delays for the entire market to participate fairly. Thank you.
Transparency in every corner of financial reporting is REQUIRED... NO EXCEPTIONS! Any changes within short sale reporting should spread more transparency and penalties for inaccuracies whether, intentional or not should be heightened to maximum. Financial white collar crimes are not taken serious enough
On penalties - Penalties should not just be monetary but should include jail time. HF's and short sellers are no longer dissuaded to stop illegal activities, such as incorrect/inaccurate reporting and creating synthetic shares, because with the money they earn through illegal means, they are able to pay fines.

2006—2007 Filing Due Dates
NASD would like to remind members of their obligation to file the appropriate FOCUS reports, Schedule I filings, Annual Audits, Customer Complaints and Short Interest reports by their due dates. The following schedule outlines due dates for 2006 reports that have 2007 due dates, and for 2007 reports. Questions regarding the information to be filed can be directed to
Comments: Please do not limit access to retail individual investors nor materially change the current structure of these funds. I use these funds both with short- and mid-term focus as a swing trade investor, and these funds have become a key strategic element to my brokerage trading strategy complementing long-term holding strategies.
I support these modifications. I believe that minimizing the reporting gap will limit some types of short selling abuse and market manipulation. Hourly synchronized aggregation and reporting of this data is possible with modern computing and would limit the gray zones in which HFT’s can exploit informational lag.
