October 8, 2022 Short selling that occurs without timely or specific visibility poses substantial problems for retail investors. Without access to critical, up-to-date short selling information, how can they be expected to fully assess the risks of buying securities? I believe implementing the 15-minute intraday reporting requirement would not only help level the playing field for retail investors, but also provide accountability for market participants. With aggregate reporting, it is possible to hide fraudulent activity. Furthermore, short selling transactions done in private stifles competition and price discovery. I fully support transactional reporting and believe the effort and cost to implement is more than justified.
