It looks like the SEC short sale reporting requirements are actually moving forward again.
Once implemented, managers would report short positions monthly, and aggregated data would eventually become public. No fund names, but more visibility into concentrated short exposure.
Probably not something that changes day to day investing. But it could affect how crowded trades are monitored and how funds think about sizing over time.
Came across a timeline summary on Stock Loan Hub that breaks down where things currently stand:

Do people here think this meaningfully changes short selling behavior, or is it mostly extra reporting?
