 Im am an international investor in the U.S markets and am passionate about fairness of publicly accessible data and proper, more timely reporting on short positions.

Short hedge fund right now only have to report once a month, it shows daily activity but its 4-6 weeks late, thats not good. If they can propose every 15 minutes for securities lending, they can propose daily disclosure for short selling those lent securities. ETFs must be included in the rule because they can be used to synthetically short vulnerable stocks and circumvent regulations.

 I am also concerned with the SEC doing the bare minimum per Section 929X of the Dodd-Frank Act,

Synthetic shorting is a predatory practice that kills the value of companies on the market and flirts with financial disaster. We need much more frequent and in depth transparency and reporting.
