August 16, 2022 I strongly support the 15-minute reporting requirement, the cost and effort are justified to prevent fraud and prevent hiding in loopholes. We have a much better idea of the risks of our decisions and transactions if we can see who is targeted which companies. If funds are allowed to short in the dark, we retail investors remain dangerously unaware of the risks we take on when purchasing securities. Short selling \"in the dark\" harms true competition and price discovery. And harms future faith of the US Stock market as a whole on the international level and future investing. The idea that a small number of short-selling funds \"know best\" and can hammer unsuspecting companies in the dark is shameful.
