Hello, I am writing from Australia to support this rule for more transparent and fair markets. There is evidence that nefarious short selling and naked short selling are prevalent in the American markets. I think the proposed change is a good start and will be huge in making the market more fair and transparent. The current system of short reporting obviously doesnt work. We just need to look at how many enforcement actions the SEC has had to hand out in the past year for institutions missreporting their shorts as longs. This is not a mistake on institutional participants behalf. I support the proposed change that would require short positions be reported daily and it is a step toward regaining trust in the American markets by foreign retail investors. Thank you for your time. Vincent Allen
