August 16, 2022 Retail will benefit from increased transparency. We have a much better idea of the risks of our decisions and transactions if we can see who is targeting which companies. If funds are allowed to short in the dark, retail investors remain dangerously unaware of the risks they take on when purchasing securities. Transparency eliminates the ability to \"hide within the aggregate\" transparency means transparency and aggregates are not transparent. As an individual retail investor, I support the 15-minute reporting requirement to improve transparency, prevent fraud, and aid in true price discovery.
