I believe, along with many others that requiring firms to report short interest data more frequently, along with more precise FTD, settlement, and threshold list information will level the playing field between large institutions and the ever growing retail trader crowd. With more technology allowing the average person to invest for themselves I believe these changes are now necessary to instill
It is in the interest of anyone investing in the market, as well as for those with retirement accounts for there to be an improvement in the reporting of short interest, and of its sources. At this time it is common for stock prices to be determined not by the foundational performance of the company that it represents, but rather by whether hedge funds or other investment vehicles have decided to
I currently feel that this needs to tracked more accurately and made public. I personally feel like things are done illegally and this would atleast help make things more transparent. Have also seen suspicious activity done on sort sale restrictions days (selling millions of shares worth of deep in the money calls to force market makers to short a stock to remain delta neutral). I'm not sure
So as we all know regular investors would like to have a fiat play on the market.

We need more transparency in the market. We, as retail investors are kept in the dark when it comes to the "free market" while hedge funds blatantly manipulate positions using illegal trading activity.

Shorting as a market practice is a crazy concept. No other capitalist market allows borrowing something that one person owns, sell it, buy it back at a lower price to profit off their initial lender. Self reporting clearly isn’t working and the ability to borrow stock is way mis-marked. Everything should be labeled and marked in real time so the corruption can be stopped and we play a fair game
