I would like to simply extend my gratitude and appreciation to the Commission for moving forward with these two amendments. I appreciate your courage in creating transparency within our markets. Ultimately, the entire system is built on trust, and I am hoping access to this information will help create more of this trust. 

Please move forward with these proposals, implement them, and enforce them! No matter how much resistance you get from those that have to do the reporting, please do not back down! I sincerely believe it will be the only way of maintaining/gaining trust from new investors, in our financial system. 

Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to end of the comment period, and implication of the amendments! 

Matt Smith
