October 9, 2022 I get it. People make mistakes over and over and lose comments, which is why I'm here to resubmit. I will resubmit my comment as many times as it takes for the SEC to manage to keep them, so don't worry, I'm here for you as a retail investor. If you need to lose them again, just please let us know, and if you don't retail will probably find it again anyway. Right now, the playing field for reporting for retail is nothing compared to the insiders with massive conflicts of interest, and keeping swaps, as well as short trades available and open to the public in meaningful ways is why this was posted in the first place, and I want to make nice and clear, I'm in full support of keeping the free markets free. To do this, they must be transparent, and allowing reporting on these very transactions is how we do this. Funds should be required to report on their trades to the most minute of detail for too many reasons to list here. This isn't a sacrifice for them, and we all know the game. So in short, yes keep this alive, make reporting on short selling mandatory, and MAKE SWAPS PUBLIC. I support transaction by transaction reporting. I support a healthy 15 min reporting to prevent fraud. You want to put working families front and center? Then you need to force market makers and hedge funds to open up their data to make it a two way street, not just them having knowing what retail does, and retail know nothing. Companies shorted need the ability to know what's happening. If a \"short squeeze\" is something that is possible from shorting a company, then they shouldn't put themselves in that position in the first place. Let retail do your work for the SEC and be able to collect data for the SEC to find wrongdoing. Pass this in full to avoid financial collapses as it threatens our national security. The more wall street hates a new motion that seems reasonable, the more I support the new motion.
