I am writing in strong support of rule 10c-1, “Reporting of Securities" 


The new rule will provide any victimised companies a greater ability to defend themselves against predatory short selling, as short selling in the dark harms true competition and price discovery. 


The enactment of this rule would also introduce the ability for the general public as well as public companies to serve as watchdogs for the SEC as an initial line of defense against abusive practices, by being able to more granularly monitor short selling for securities fraud for those securities they are invested in, helping and strengthening the SEC's ability to fulfil it's mandate and to help weed out market participants that are working against SEC rules, all at no additional cost to the SEC.


Sincerely, 


A Concerned Investor
