From: william johnson [bigbilltus@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:46 AM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Subject: Regulation SHO (s7-23-03) Major Mistake: 1)Sleazy promoters will pull all stock out of DTC. 2)Market makers will check to see if stock is in DTC to be borrowed. When it isn't, they will NOT fill any orders on the stock, because they know the game is on to manipulate the stock higher (Would you sit there and print losses all day)? 3)Stocks will go from pennies to dollars VERY QUICKLY and come down just as fast. 4)If your objective is to increase volatilty, you will accomplish that. 5)The SEC must include a provision whereby a certain % of stock is in dtc, otherwise this a penny stock manipulator's DREAM COME TRUE! 6)There are many unintended consequences of this action. Please think it thru.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard http://antispam.yahoo.com/whatsnewfree
