 To whom it may concern:

While I understand that short selling can be part of an efficient market. It is also ripe for abuse if not regulated appropriately. Increased transparency is a step in the right direction.

I have noticed that some comments by organizations claim that increased transparency will bring fourth added costs of reporting. However I believe these organizations are using this as an excuse to remain negligent and undermine the meaning of a \"fair market\". Most organization who facilitates trading in the markets makes hundreds millions of dollars per year in revenue. The cost of enhanced transparency is a pocket change for them.

I fully support \"Rule 13f-2 and amendments to
Regulation SHO and CAT to increase market transparency regarding short selling\".
