Abusive short selling of securities is not in the best interest of retail investors, and can lead to the demise of viable American companies. Retail deserves transparency in the markets, and posting of short positions will only help that. Short sellers are not investors, and in fact are the exact opposite. Although a possible necessity in the market to provide liquidity, the dangerous nature of naked shorting and not providing details of this position outweighs the advantages of short positions.
As a retail investor, we deserve better and this rule should be implemented as is to mandate short positions are reported on a frequent basis.
