Transparency should be the most important factor in free markets.  


This protects all players involved. 


Please make all shorting information transparent.  


Separately I think that PFOF, and FTDs are antiquated and do not provide a positive effect on the market place.  


These are also loopholes used by hedge funds to manipulate how data is perceived.  


Thank you very much.  --
