October 31, 2022 The CFTC has hidden swap data from the public. This data holds long and short positions. FINRA requires firms to report short interest positions in all customer and proprietary accounts in all equity securities twice a month. So why does the CFTC exploit their unique position of power to hide said short positions from the public? There can be no fair and equitable markets when such concentration of power can hold data hostage from the rest of the markets and world. Transparency allows investors, managers, and firms to make informed decisions. I am an individual investor and I support more transparency and open public viewing of current, up to date, and accurate swap data.
