I support Proposal S7-32-10. We must have greater
transparency in the markets! This proposal will put us on the right
path to achieve this. Those that are complaining about operational
issues are making up excuses to keep this from passing. Think of going
to a supermarket and buying a tube of toothpaste. When your tube is
scanned, the store's software is programmed to subtract a tube of
toothpaste from their inventory and also send in an order for more
toothpaste as the stock gets to a pre-determined number inside the
software. I would think with the brilliant programmers they have on
staff who are smart enough to figure out ways to manipulate the
markets, they can certainly figure out a way to create a report with
each task they perform. 

We need true price discovery in our markets. Investors of all kinds
need correct and complete data to make informed decisions. This is
fair to all and necessary to keep our markets healthy. 

Thank you for your efforts to create a more fair and transparent
market. Please pass this proposal.
