Dear Securities and Exchange Commission, Re: Prohibition Against Fraud, Manipulation, and Deception in Connection with Security-Bases Swaps I believe that implementing this rule is a necessary step toward providing the needed investor protection in the securities markets, particularly for retail investors, from those institutional investors, hedge funds and market markets who routinely hide their fraud,and deception, abuse and manipulation of the markets through lack of regulations. Requiring timely reporting of security based swaps would also add to a transparent market environment. No more hiding in swaps which has been the norm. Best regards, JD
