Dear Secretary Countryman:

I am writing in strong support of the proposed rules that will allow for transparency and public release of data regarding short interests as well as securities lending and swaps. 


As a retail investor, it is almost impossible to find accurate data that is timely so that the findings can actually be useful. It seems as if the rules currently in place are intentionally made to benefit large hedge funds and corporations that are attempting to play against retail. There is no reason that our stock markets should not be totally transparent. If we don’t make changes to make our markets fair, there will be other countries that will do so, and risk retail preferring to invest in their markets instead. 



Sincerely,
Yisroel Miller
