October 31, 2022 I fully support rule 10c-1 and expect the Commission to not only enact but also take all steps necessary to enforce this rule in light of the Dodd-Frank mandate that the Commission increase the transparency of information available to investors. It is very apparent that there are predatory participants in our market who are short selling in the dark. These practices run contrary to the Commission's mission to ensure that everyone has the timely, accurate and complete information they need to make decisions about their investments. The playing field is in no way level if individual investors such as myself are unaware of short seller activity taking place and we cannot fully gauge the risks of our investing decisions. I applaud your inclusion of the 15-minute transaction-by-transaction reporting requirement and agree that this is a vital component of this rule. The cost and effort required to adhere to a 15-minute reporting requirement is absolutely justified to give the transparenc y needed and help reduce fraud. More timely reporting will lead to far more investors participating and analyzing data and sharing that with the investing community. Implementing this rule will make strides towards your stated goal of protecting working families against fraud, manipulation and misconduct.
