MFA submitted a comment letter to the SECs Division of Trading and Markets on the short sale disclosure provisions in Section 929X(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act. In our letter, we expressed our view that the language in the statute and the legislative history to that section clearly demonstrate Congresss intention to require the public disclosure of aggregate short sale information, not individualized disclosure of short sales.
