October 29, 2022 Large swap positions must be reported daily. The CFTC hiding swaps until 2023 is disgraceful and unfair to retail investors. The only entities that have been benefitting from this are large institutions which does not bode well to the general understanding that the stock market is a free and fair marketplace. Allowing Hedge funds to get short exposure to any stock without directly shorting it is an unfair mechanism of the stock market and should be forbidden. Large swap data (any swap position exceeding $150 million) should be reported no later than the end of the first business day after the swap is executed, and should be made publicly available immediately upon filing. The threshold should be lowered to $100 million gross. Thank you for your time.
