I oppose making the filing of a "structured file with position-sensitive layout of data records" for Form 13F optional. A mandatory structured filing should be accepted by the SEC on diskette or via direct transmission, as well as on magnetic tape. I request that EDGAR provide an online report (based on Form 13F filings) of institutions owning a designated security. I request that EDGAR provide an online report (based on Form 13F filings) of securities owned by a designated institution. I request that filing of Form 13F be required to be on a more timely basis such as within five days following the end of each month.
