Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my comment. I strongly support transaction-by-transaction reporting. To me, it means real transparency. I also support the 15-minute reporting requirement. I believe the cost and effort are justified to prevent fraud and prevent hiding in loopholes which I believe could be a major problem within our financial system. Victimized companies need a greater ability to defend themselves against predatory practices, and short selling in the dark harms true competition and price discovery. I would have a much better idea of the risks of my decisions and transactions if I can see who is targeted which companies. If funds are allowed to short in the dark, retail investors like myself remain dangerously unaware of the risks taken on when purchasing securities.
Thank you for your time.
