If there was more transparency into short seller positions paired with the proposed enhanced reporting practices it could encourage a more fair market for all investors, not just those largest participants. When attempting to do research into short positions into some companies I had a long position in, the information was so sparse, and vague to say the least, you could not accurately assess the effect it was having on price discovery. We need short sellers need to be more closely monitored to have a fair and balanced market we can have confidence in. Many of our largest US based hedge funds are outright banned from short selling in other countries, the least we could do would be to add a great deal of oversight into these large market participants, and their short positions.
