Thank you for showing us you can hear. We want better rules for short sales. I read the fact sheets on this rule and man is it convoluted like everything else. I WANT THE SAME RULES AS HEDGEFUNDS AND MARKET MAKERS WHEN IT COMES TO AVAILABLE INFOMRATION. This rule looks nice, hopefully it includes market makers. Naked shoring has been a problem for decades and decades. Countless documentaries, books, speeches, laws (in other countries that have fairer markets). WE DESERVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW APPROXIMATLY HOW MANY SHARES HAVE BEEN EVER CREATED. I still don't understand why you do it montly. We have computers. Just ask Ken if you can borrow one of his super computers that screws over retail like some deragned super-villian AI and he'll attest that things can happen in the same day now. We don't have horses anymore carrying our stocks, WE DON'T NEED LIQUIDITY AT THE COST OF PRICE DISCOVERY.
If you get nothing else from my rant, NO COMPANY SHOULD EVER HAVE TO ENDURE A SHORT INTEREST OF GREATER THAN 40% AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A WAY TO PROVE IT ISN'T. WE NEED TO SEE HOW MANY SHARES YOU ARE CREATING OUT OF THIN AIR. YOU CREATED A VACUUM OF INFORMATION PLEASE FIX IT.
