 We all are aware that short selling has been a hot topic related to our markets over the last few years. It is obvious that there is a need for greater transparency regarding short selling and positions held short. Daily reporting of short selling is a necessary first step in providing transparency and true price discovery to our markets. The current methods of reporting for short selling are seriously lacking and provide individuals little to no ability to truly understand what is going on with the securities they own.

I am in full support of this rule, as we need greater transparency when it comes to short selling data.
