I support the SEC's efforts to promote transparency in the \"lending\" of securities (more commonly known as short selling). As matters stand now, private investors suffer from a two to three week delay in reporting, and short interest is reported only twice a month.

I would rather see the aggregate short interest data published on a daily basis, itemized by each underlying security, and with substantially less delay. Ideally, the short interest would be published in real time or with only an overnight delay in publication.

Thank you for considering this comment.
