Finra 21-19 is crucial to the integrity of the US stock market. Transparency and equal access to data is essential. The current imbalance in reporting and reporting requirements is severely crippling. The unlimited risk of naked short selling should not be allowed in our country. Failure to deliver data and short interest should be reported daily. Monetary and legal recourse are the only way to
Retail investors do not typically have much to say during these critical junctures in financial history, but given the recent tumultuous events of the last year, and the potential systematic failures that can be eliminated by 21-19, I felt the need to lend my voice to the effort. Regardless of the viability of short selling as a legitimate investment strategy, the inefficacies introduced by short
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

Short selling and rehypothecation has been used to the detriment of retail investors and is threatening to destroy the entire market structure if left unchecked.

Short Interest reporting AND ENFORCEMENT needs to improved at multiple levels. No hedge fund or investor should be given an excuse to hide what they are doing or to delay reporting or masking it in creative work arounds. 21-19 is a vast improvement. As a retail trader for decades >40 years. It’s about time more reporting and penalties for institutions and investment funds are ratcheted up
