I support these modifications. I believe that minimizing the reporting gap will limit some types of short selling abuse and market manipulation. Hourly synchronized aggregation and reporting of this data is possible with modern computing and would limit the gray zones in which HFT’s can exploit informational lag.
I object: Thumb on the scale regulations. This doesn't do small investors any favors. A reverse split is one thing.

Leveraged security and option instruments are important components of both my short and long term investment plans. Over-regulating these financial instruments could potentially cause great financial harm and substantially reduce future returns. Limiting investments to only individuals of high net worth seems to be against the Equal Protection Clause established by the 14th Amendment to the US
