To Whom It May Concern:

I fully and unequivocally support this motion to change the rules regarding SEC File No. 4-500. Request for Rulemaking Regarding Member Records of "Short" Positions and Reporting and Public Dissemination of Aggregate Positions by Security.

As a 25 Industry member in Canada and former series 7 licensed broker in the U.S. I believe that any rules towards transparency in the marketplace for public access are a step in the right direction towards starting to curb manipulative practices within the OTC and Pink Sheet companies, and will help put the ‘public’ back into ‘public trading markets’
