As an Investor in the US equity markets, I believe that enforcing transparency rules would immediately affect synthetic shorting and other illegal practices in the market and foster appropriate protections for ordinary people who care about their future and invest their hard-earned wages. Not only limited to legal shorting but all synthetics to be published daily. In addition, can the SEC ensure failure to deliver have a time frame to cover otherwise, it promotes illegal practices and could lead to the global financial crisis of 2008.
