 There's a reason that big long positions must be filed and made public. And there's no reason that short positions shouldn't be filed and made public. All the data, short or long, should be made public. The identities of managers or individual short positions should not remain confidential. Confidentiality in these circumstances means obscurity, less transparency and less faith from any investor in the stock market.

So this is a small step, but it is a significant one for sure. Therefore, I support this rule.
