 I support this proposed rule, but it doesnt go far enough

All short exposure must be reported, including ETF creation and redemption.

Market structure reform should focus on leveling the playing field.  Close the loopholes and abolish market maker exemptions.

I personally feel that short selling does nothing to benefit society or the economy and should be outlawed in all its forms.  Imagine a world in which people only had the option to invest in a company or not invest in a company.  THAT is true price discovery.  Shorting only serves to undermine price discovery and the collateral damage is destroying businesses, jobs, and families.  The LEAST you should do is to enforce short-selling transparency.
