Release No. 34–94313; File No. S7–08–22 Short Position and Short Activity Reporting by Institutional I Cristian Molina Torres appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC” or “Commission”) release on proposed Rule 13f-2 (“Proposal”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. I fully support the Commission in this rulemaking, and urge the Commission to go further with these disclosures. The lack of transparency around short positions, the inability to adequately quantify short interest, and the ability for firms to skirt regulation through derivative positions such as options and security-based swaps are making a mockery of our free and open markets. short exposure leads to supply/demand imbalances in markets and affects trading prices. I want a level field for everyone and the more transparency we have the more we will continue to trust the market. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to respond to this wonderful proposal will be looki ngf forward for the next ones.
