To whom it may concern, As a retail investor, I believe transparency is vital to a fair and efficient market. I think it is unlawful for a company to be shorted more than 140% of its float. In no other industry can you sell 140% of a product legally. It is important that this is taken seriously as the integrity of the market is at stake.

Enhanced reporting on short sales in a timely manner is long overdue. These new rules can and will create a healthier market, far from perfect, but better than yesterday.

Short interest needs to be reported everyday, just like volume and institutional holdings this is vital information to prevent over shorting a stock or non compliant behavior that limits price discovery and normal market dynamics.

To whom it may concern: 1. Consolidation of short interest data publication, centralized on the FINRA website should be made public. 2. Require firms to segregate short interest held in proprietary accounts vs that held in customer accounts. 3. Report to FINRA account-level short interest (not for publication). 4. Report synthetic short positions in both options and security based swaps. 5. Report loan obligations from arranged financing to better reflect actual short sentiment. 6. Report total shares outstanding and the public float. 7. Daily reporting timeframe. 8.

The events leading out of Jan 2021 and continuing into this year should make it abundantly clear that leaving any positions unreported or obfuscated results in a lack of faith in the fairness of US markets. That paired with a speculative bubble puts all investors at risk. I request that FINRA pushes for more reporting of short positions.

No more FTD. T-0 settlement, show real short interest in live, no more dark pool, if there should be a fine then fine them multi-trillion of dollars of jail time.

1. Please abolish SHORT SALES 2. If abolishing short sales is not possible, please make the short sale positions of hedge funds and institutions PUBLIC, RELIABLE and Accountable. 3. Please serve the US public and humans across the globe by taking serious action against criminals - not just with a fine of $10,000 for a crime that amount to $1 Billion.

To Whom It May Concern, I believe FINRA themselves said it best in their proposal, "FINRA believes this information would assist FINRA in understanding the scope of market participants’ short sale activity, specifically regarding the use of less-traditional means of establishing short interest." My only question is why in the world has FINRA not required ALL short interest? Isn't the whole point of a Short Interest report to show how much Short Interest there is? Why in the world would you ever exclude all the Short Interest information unless it was for nefarious purposes?

Please implement and enforce with all due haste. Abusive short-selling is destroying faith in US markets. More reporting, oversight, and accountability are needed to ensure robust investment in the future.

While the proposed improved regulations / reporting are taking a step in the right direction there needs to be further reporting of data to the public made in as close to real time as possible. As the movement of retail traders being involved in managing their own investments continues to grow, the playing field should be as even as possible for all parties involved. If we are investing with a firm, we should be able to know the extent of their short position, if it is something that goes against our own investment strategies.
