By reporting FTDs and short positions it would allow for more transparency. It feels as if there are 2 sets of rules. The retail investor does not have all of the information to better equip themselves in their retail strategy. While giving institutions an upper hand.
Hi Finra. How are you today? Reason I'm writing this is to ask you to please look into hedge funds that are illegally shorting and manipulating the stock market. For far too long these Hf are hurting the market.

Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors.
