 I explicitly support transaction-by-transaction reporting because it eliminates the ability to \"hide within the aggregate\".  Aggregates are not transparent.  Retail benefits greatly from transparency.
15 minute reporting is a must, and the cost justifies the prevention of fraud.
Victimized companies need a greater ability to defend themselves from predatory short sellers.
The SEC now has millions of retail investors acting as \"watchdogs\" monitoring short selling data AT NO COST, looking out for retails best interest.
By now, the SEC is aware of the fragility of their market due to long untracked lending chains with their destructive obligations.
I read the comments from the \"big firms\" and all I see is their need to keep their shorts hidden due to being caught out by certain entities.  All the more reason for more Transparency.
