I'm an investor in ITALY and I'm currently investing in the USA's stock market.
Regulations like the Rule 10c-1 are always welcome by retail because I'm sure there might well be issues related to Securities Loans. Not to mention that the currently available data on loans from private vendors- is expensive and incomplete because it's limited to some market participants, we don't happen to see all complete information.
This lack of accurate data and transparency leads to a poor performance in retails investments.
I'm sure that approving this kind of rule will improve the price discovery not only for lending securities but in the market as a whole.
It's very important that this information is released at least in a daily manner, so all participants are informed about the current situation of the market.
Please make sure not to leave any kind of exclusions when it comes to the Lenders and categories because some participants might try to exploit these considerations.
When approved, I really hope that the SEC enforces this and the rest of the rules you're working on. Some punishment that comes to mind is barring participants from the industry, actually collecting the fines (I've read that most of the fines levied by that SEC aren't collected) and also making sure that these fines are a real deterrant not some mild speeding ticket that bad participants would gladly pay as the cost of doing business.The American market these days with the short of meme stocks, AMC, GME, HYMC and others is not giving an example of transparency and security, when we see 100% use of the stocks for two weeks and the CTB goes up and no body in charge of controlling (Sec, Doj) the work of Market Makers and Hedge Funds who magically find shares every day with which to shorten the value of the stock, an investor will never again invest his savings in these markets, but will move on controlled transparent markets and where exchanges in Dark Pools are not allowed, these exchanges not executed on regular markets do not contribute to forming the price value of the stock, which as everyone knows based on demand rises and if there is no demand falls, therefore lacking the purchase demand that is not executed on regular markets (nyse) how can the price be real safe transparent, if you do not fix these things you will lose many investors the European Canadian market is very or more regulated and does not allow authorized thefts
