To whom this may concern,

It has come to my attention that this rule has been delayed, having a formal decision made on it. I would like to make it obvious that I think that this delay seems quite inappropriate. That is because it is in the peoples interest, and in the interest of having a honest, free market that this type of reporting is needed, and of the upmost importance to maintain the standard of the US stock market. With the growing education of the average person, it is becoming clear that information should be available to a common trader. This is so that all people can make investments that are truly in their best interest, and that people who would be against one person’s investment cannot be able to manipulate the investment and not make it clear. If a person was to buy a share on an exchange, it is present, so why should it be fair for a person to be able to short or sell a share? And that not be present.

I hope that this email brings attention to this rule needs to be integrated immediately. As well that delaying this process after already setting a deadline takes away the credibility of the individuals making the ruling.
