I would like to see the following metric: total # of all short positions open by any company / # shares issued by company. This includes activity in dark pools. This must be reported hourly. This is the only way to ensure naked shorting is not occuring.
Transparency in the market, I request more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. Frequent monitoring of naked shorting especially from Citadel who is a Market Maker and Hedge fund which is a conflict of interest.
As a relative newcomer to investing short interest seems to be a very complex subject to understand the situation regarding a company's share price and its analysis. Simple, accurate and timely information would help make a more informed decision on where to invest hard earned money. As such I feel information reported should be equally simple. Number of short positions opened, number of
It's way past time to implement very frequent public reporting of short sales, with all the detail concerning counter parties listed for the public to view. It's clear that naked short selling is occurring. What will the SEC do about it?
As a retail trader I would like to request more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public records. It is time to enforce the short naked violations/manipulation of hedge funds involved on $AMC, $GME and any other companies been shorted. I would like to remind you that your mission is to protect investors by making sure the US securities industry operates fairly and
More in-depth information should be readily available, and the loop holes that exist be closed or at least monitored better.

With how my knowledge of CUSIP works, my longs should have never been labeled as short. With the crazy time it took to finalize the merger, DTC holding back (buying time?) Preferred Shares, HTB interest on longs that should
I have been investing a long time and have bought individual stocks, bonds, ETFs. I have shorted the Market through ETFs. I realize the risks involved. Currently we are in a period where the major market indices are falling. Now is the perfect time to protect part of your portfolio with an ETF that shorts the market. It is like insurance on your home. The goal is to protect your investment. I
1.Reduce the reporting period to weekly (or preferably daily) from biweekly. 2.Require that exchanges report failures to deliver and naked shorts alongside covered shorts. 3.Reduce the holding period for reported days from 4 days to 2 or fewer. 4.Document and release the identities of funds that have open short positions and their sizes.

Short sale reporting should require actual shares to be in their position to short. Reporting should consolidate every trading day to ensure there is only 100% of the float in circulation. Naked shorting should be a fine at a 15% of the firms last year revenue earned. In addition repeat violations should increase in 30% to impact the firms overall bottom line to ensure it is not the cost of doing
