In order for investors to get some kind of idea as to what the "naked short" interest is in any particular security, is for the regulators to make the DTCC report what the total FTD's (failures to deliver) are when a stock appears on the reg SHO list.

If they can put out the reg SHO list daily, then you know that they also know what the total amount of FTD's are also.

But this will never happen. This is proprietory information which is sold to hedge funds, institional investors and others.
