August 16, 2022 Hello, and thank you for the opportunity to advocate for my rights as a retail investor. I believe we need much greater transparency, simply and accountability in our financial markets. I support this proposal with the implicit inclusions of transaction by transaction reporting and the 15 minute reporting requirement. I do not want this proposal diluted or watered down. Victimized companies of abusive short selling need greater ability to defend themselves against predatory behavior. Better transparency is necessary to prevent long untracked lending chains and faster reporting requirement will only strengthen the ability to identify securities fraud. I would also like to add that punishment for fraud should outstrip the financial benefit of committing fraud in the first place. Otherwise, paltry fines are a small cost on the way to maximized profits by means of exploitation.
