 As an avid retail investor, I personally think it is very dangerous that specific securities on loan and specific securities shorted (as well as amount borrowed and shorted) are not required to be reported by large financial institutions.

Allowing these institutions and family offices to not report this data is harmful to our markets and even economy.

Making this change is crucial to ensuring our markets are operating fairly and without corruption or dangerous exposure.

Thank you for considering my thoughts.
