Dear SEC, 
I don’t think most Americans know when you buy a stock from a broker, you don’t own that actual stock. It’s held in “street name” by brokers who then actively lend your shares to people who are trying to short the very company you’re investing in. 


The markets would benefit from more transparency, please help do that.
