August 16, 2022 As a retail investor who makes barely more than $35k/yr, I do not have as many tools at my disposal as massive multi-billion dollar corporate entities. - I SUPPORT transaction-by-transaction reporting. I cannot make thousands of transactions in one minute, I cannot hide my transactions in a sea of aggregated obscurity. Transparency should be in place for all. - I SUPPORT the 15-minute reporting requirement. All costs and measures are justified when it comes to preventing fraud in our markets. Intraday reporting will severely dissuade bad actors who rely on long-term reporting dates as a loophole. - I SUPPORT the public disclosure of short positions. Retail investors often get their trading advice from sources which do not have their best interests at heart, especially if these sources can secretly be shorting the very stocks that they are \"promoting\". Hiding short positions allows for the financial abuse of working-class individuals who wish to enter the stock market.
