With how poorly the entire market is run, anything that enhances the ability for retail investors to have more transparency is a must. With how easily everything can be manipulated, data being skewed and hidden, naked shorts, FTD's, etc - the entire system needs an overhaul. But at the minimum, 21-19 needs to be passed to allow better transparency involving the reporting of short interest and short sales.

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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

I would like short interest to be reported daily to make the market more fair for retail investors.

I cannot believe in the "greatest country in the world" we have to comment on whether transparency on the very thing that provides a backbone for the world economy is a good idea. ALL information regarding what occurs on our markets should be readily accessible by everyone. Having a select few entities control all of the information is the definition of an oligarchy in a world where information is so valuable. The fact that retail investors have to rely on doctored information to understand the market provides evidence that the market is skewed against them.

Hi I grew up in the late 70s 80s and 90s. Graduated college in 2001 after a 2 year break between high school and college. I got a degree in Environmental Science. Its worthless. How are those California wildfires going, oh and more like Hoover Dayum. Am I right? Who needs water in a desert.. seriously. We went to war with 2 of the wrong countries and the economy tanked more than once. Great Recession anyone? It was the best of times it was the worst of times.

FINRA 21-19 is an absolutely necessary change. Many people, myself included, have become quite disillusioned and leery regarding the current United States market, mostly due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. While many of the policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 address the general breadth of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave significant specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

The blatant corruption from the firms that you watch over is appalling. You must do your job, these bad actors cannot be allowed to get away with a 2008 event again. We are watching. 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.

We need better short intrest data. Real time data as it happens no more retail has to wait 2 days to find out what's going on. This puts us at a disadvantage as institutions have real time data as to what retail is doing mainly because of pfof, Bernie Madoff created pfof so that is giant red flag. We need real time data to what institutions are buying and selling if they have ours. Real time short interest is needed asap this is 2021 not 1950s today's technology can do it.

Please ensure Short Interest will be reported daily and will include FTDs
