I am in favor of enhanced reporting of swaps involving publicly traded securities. Thank you for proposing these additional reporting requirements. I think they will go a long way towards improving the transparency (and thus trustworthiness) of equities markets.
Furthermore, I believe the Commission should go further, as I believe _all_ entitlements and obligations in publicly traded securities should be publicly accessible. A core issue of concern is the manipulation of the supply and demand in the public marketplace, which strikes at the very essence of what it means for a security to be public. Parties seeking to enter into undisclosed swaps in public securities should be discouraged, including by making such undisclosed contracts unenforceable.
