Re: Reporting of Securities Loans (File No. S7-18-21)


Dear Secretary Countryman:

I am writing in strong support of rule 10c-1, Reporting of Securities Loans.

Please stop the crimes stop the corruption. I am a small investor who wants to participate in a free and fair market, free of fraud and manipulation. Please take note of the following:

 I strongly support transaction-by-transaction reporting because it eliminates the ability to \"hide within the aggregate\" transparency means transparency and aggregates are not transparent. Secret short selling could dissuade actual investment as funds attempt to glean profit off the backs of true investors.

 I support the 15-minute reporting requirement, cost and effort are justified to prevent fraud and prevent hiding in loopholes.

 Working families and every day people are the ones who suffer from greed and corruption. Support the true american dream by supporting this rule.

 Victimized companies cannot defend themselves against this abusive tactic that has no apparent recourse.

 A short seller is not an investor. An abusive short seller, such as those that shall not be named, exhibit behaviors of a predator that seek to pillage and plunder from the innocent.

 With the increased transparency, retail investors can make better informed decisions about their investments and spend more wisely. This may as well mean they will spend more knowing there transparency and a more faire stock market in place.


I would like to thank whoever read this and I truly hope you have an amazing and wonderful day.

Love and peace always, and love and peace is what I wish to spread at the lowest levels of society should I ever have an opportunity to do so.




Sincerely,

A Concerned Investor
