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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. The policies mentioned in Regulatory Notice 21-19 speak of exploitable and ineffective reporting, they also leave specific gaps that could compromise the entirety of 21-19's purpose.

We need more accountability for short positions in the market. There is far too much collusion and conflicts of interest that are not good for our markets/economy as a whole. I hope FINRA is able to provide more accountability by passing more rules for institutions, hedge funds and big players as a whole. All information regarding our markets should be public knowledge. Short positions, volumes, buy/sell orders, all of it should be 100% transparent. I stand by the 21-19 rule.

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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

I'm just a regular guy living his life. I want to live in a country that isn't dominated by mega-rich Wall Street corporations. I am about to have my first child with my wife and I want them to grow up knowing that their economy is free and fair. I don't want their future to be stolen by people they'll never even meet. 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to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

As an international investor in the US market I believe FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change.

Finra 21-19 is a change that is long overdue to the short reporting systems that have plagued the United States capital markets for too long. The institutions that have the ability to misrepresent their short exposure and subsequent effect on the markets is not only damaging to the retail Investor but the markets as a whole. The changes implemented in Finra 21-19 are not only a step in the right direction to protect the average American investor, but to also enrich and make for more transparent market for the rest of the world to have faith in.

FINRA 21-19 addresses many of the shortcomings of our opaque market. While I support the reporting enhancements, I would like to see further action taken by FINRA to bring transparency to short selling. Short selling, while providing liquidity to the market, also brings the challenge of unlimited risk. Unlimited risk (e.g. a short squeeze) drives market participants to engage in unethical and illegal behavior.

Every share should be tracked with a unique identifier. Every share with a unique identifier should only be allowed to lent out once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily. All retail but and sell orders should be done in a "lit" market - not retail order should be allowed to be packaged up with other retail orders and sent as "one" to a darkpool. Market Makers should not be allowed to be owned by hedge funds like Citadal or other clear conflict of interest institutions.
