I have to wonder what the point is of publishing this daily list that FINRA seems so proud of.

Me too. The day after it came out, I called I guy I know who works there. He explained what it meant. Once I understood, I asked why on earth they'd done it, given that it would just cause trouble. He sighed and said that their critics want them to be "transparent", so they decided to publish the daily reports, even though they're meaningless for the purposes of ordinary investors.

I know--it kinda sux biggly, right?

"Semantics" should *not* play a role, but that's just what it is.
