October 30, 2022 To whom it may concern, Over the past several years, it has come to the attention of many retail investors such as myself, that our markets as a whole are completely lacking in oversight and enforcement. In fact, it would seem that the SEC has been completely blind, if not outright complicit, in the illegal practices that occur in our market on a regular basis. We stand on the precipice of what very well might be the largest collapse of the global economy ever seen and part of it is due to illegal shorting practices. Transparency is only a very small step in the right direction of what the SEC should stand for. I cannot fathom a reason that more transparency in the market would possibly have a negative effect on anyone other than those who rely on the concealment of this information to keep up their illegal practices. I fully support the enforcement of short position transparency as well as further steps to show that the SEC actually does have the best interests of the regular investor at heart. Do better. Sincerely, A concerned investor
