I am firmly for rule 10c-1. Transaction by transaction reporting is closer to actual best execution. It would also help victimized companies to better defend against predatory short selling. The lack of information publicly known is a problem for all investors, who are expected to invest on incomplete and dated short sale information or against best execution. I believe the cost and effort involved are warranted to help in early detection of abusive shorting practices, to lower the ability of toxic market participants to hide behind loopholes, and to attempt to stop such fraud from happening in capital markets.
