October 9, 2022 I support transaction-by-transaction reporting because it eliminates the ability to hide within the aggregate. I support the 15 minute reporting requirement as it helps to prevent fraud and loopholes. Retail investors and victimized companies will both benefit from greater transparency. True price discovery and risk assessment will never come to light if predatory short sellers are allowed to dangerously short in the dark. The first thing I would like to express in this comment is my frustration at the total lack of regard towards protecting individual investors during the congressional, legal, and regulatory proceedings that have occurred as a result of the meme stock saga, which began in January of 2021. I want to make this point very clear, I am a grown ass man, I do not care about confetti being used on mobile phone apps. What I care about is the systematic failures and loopholes that exist in our markets that allow for monopolized financial industry power houses to steal from the general public, and prevent new innovation in our business sectors from occurring. It is my firm belief that any elected or regulatory official that directs the conversation away from these extremely serious issues, such as trying to discuss superfluous topics like confetti, is either too incomptent to comment on this subject, or is purposely being disingenuous to prevent positive changes in our markets from actually bein g enforced. I know Ken Griffin is a criminal, and you know Ken Griffin is a criminal. Fraud, deceit, payola--there's a reason he needs to spend 100 million on political \"donations\". It's protection money and you guys accepting that and writing rules to protect these scumbag sociopaths is going to ultimately bring the whole thing down and I think you know that it's likely too late to start doing your jobs now, so you're just letting go. I don't blame you as you're just as susceptable to greed as the next guy-- the point is whether or not you're sociopathic and call pull out of it, or if you continue to sink it and pretend you're not a collaborator with Ken, Stevie and the rest of the self-proclaimed kings who are actually simply human garbage.
