 As an individual investor I support this proposed rule change that adds transparency to our markets. As an engineer I know that there is no technical reason for delays other than to benefit a group or system that works hard to keep themselves and their systems in the middle of my trades. Any opportunity to remove latency in the information sharing and publishing process will ultimately help expose weaknesses in the system and bad actors who would use current limitations to their advantage that individual investors don't have the time or the means to use themselves. I am for the proposed settlement changes and any others that remove delays in transactions or reporting, which seem to only benefit large intermediaries, and add inefficiencies in our markets.
