 Our markets are currently heavily manipulated in large part due to a lack of transparency.
Transparency is critical in restoring the global trust in our US markets.

Short selling in dark pools, and FTD's needs to end. It cannot be a part of a free market.

Allowing market makers to self regulate is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Let's have the fox guard the hen house. . .

Fraud can be hidden in aggregates, so we need to enforce 15-minute reporting requirements to expose malicious actors and remove a
unfair advantage they have.

Retail investors like me deserve to be fully informed of the risks they are taking on when they purchase securities.

I support the 15-minute reporting requirement to improve transparency, prevent fraud,  and reveal true price discovery.

Thanks
