August 16, 2022 I welcome more transparency. A 15 second window could be implemented, but 15 minutes is an enormous step in the right direction. I am an international investor into the US markets, and I am concerned that the cat is being asked to look after the mice too often - and no reporting on mouse numbers is available. I dont think there is any good reason for short activity should be allowed to be hidden. I think issuers should have the right to see short activity on a per transaction and rapid time frame basis. Otherwise there is a risk of the short being made not on fundamentals but as an attack that cannot be rebuffed. Its not fair. Additionally unreported short activities could build to a point where they pose a systemic threat. Thank you for making efforts in this regard. If the activities conducted using securities loans is moral and just - no one should have a problem on it being visible + reported.
