To whom it may concern, 


I am making a formal comment on File Number 57-08-22.  


As an American citizen and retail investor in the American markets. I know increased transparency as it related to the general market and shorts specifically is a necessary and proper step towards genuinely free and fair markets.  


It is negligent to say that shorts do not impact the market. Increased disclosure of such positions should be a top priority of the SEC. Should the SEC’s proposed rule be upheld and implemented, the will of the myself and other constituents would be representative. 


Thank you for your time and consideration
