 I am in favour of this rule proposal.

I support transaction-by-transaction reporting becauseI believe that it increases transparency and lowers the chance for fraud and in-congruency.

I believe that a 15-minute reporting requirement would be beneficial for our markets and thus justifies any induced costs.

More transparency allows every investor to make more educated investment choices and it makes sure that there are more eyes on the matter and illegal activity can be more easily detected.

I believe that with the current framework investors cannot make educated choices due to the funds being able to remain in the dark while targeting companies with shorting activities etc.

Securities lending activity can hide massively destructive chains of obligation that reach far out even into international markets, thus putting the global market structure into jeopardy.

Make the right choice, by accepting this rule proposal, to make our markets fairer for everyone.
