Reporting needs to be more than monthly, weekly at latest. It also needs to be changed so that it 100% accurately identifies short interest and delineates between real and synthetic borrowed shares for short interest. Fines should also be such that they accumulate to a point that a rule breaker will not be able to just choose to keep paying the fine and committing the crime.
Short positions should be required to report more regularly and the short interest of a stock should be known rather than estimated every other week.
I am a new retail investor but I have found quickly a strong sentiment of unfair trading practices and market manipulation by hedge funds that leaves retail traders at significant disadvantages. I appreciate the efforts on behalf of FINRA and the SEC to eliminate these events of malpractice by enforcing the rules that are currently in place, as well as, providing the public with more accurate and
Well, where should I start.

It’s sad a company that’s trying to get off foot is constantly able to get beaten into
More transparency with the whole process more detail on short positions
You need to increase fines for non-reporting of short positions. The current plan is not even comparable to a slap on the wrist for the large hedge funds. It would more than likely hurt them less to pay the fines than to actually report on their short positions. As for the frequency of reporting, daily with full transparency in all aspects of the market would be appreciated but impossible. Also
The world will be a financially better place once Citadel and their evil spawn are forced into liquidation.
I am writing to FINRA to comment today, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.A. § 78i, titled Manipulation of Security Prices, to prohibit manipulative and deceptive tactics that artificially depresses the price of AMC Entertainment and other securities in contravention of the laws of the United States. Section 78i(a) clearly states that "It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, by the
