October 30, 2022 I am appalled at the current opaque state of reporting of shorts in the current market. ANY attempt limiting the reporting requirements or hiding information on shorts is not in the best interest of individual retailer investors or in the best interest of a free and open market. Short data has already been hidden and obscured for far too long. Any attempt to hide this data is deception and manipulation. Consciously not releasing significant data allows bad faith actors to continue to steal from every other market participant, domestically and internationally. Should faith be lost in the marketplace, this is a matter of national security which could have tangible effects to the stock market, the USD, the U.S's standing as the reserve currency of the world, and mostly, to the livelihood of all the individuals that trust the SEC to protect them from financial terrorists. I hope this message does not fall on deaf ears, gets lost as many have done before, and is taken seriously by the SEC. I have saved copies of my comments should they require resubmitting in the future. Should the SEC fail to 'Maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets' as is their motto (where fairness comes first), then may god help these United States and those who swore to protect us. Thank you.
