I am writing to you regarding support of "IEX"

We have a life boat in IEX in the rough seas filled with sharks.("High Volume Traders") I urge you to afford the protection of long term investors over short term professional intermediaries.

This is why I personally feel its good for the SEC to approve IEXs application to become an Exchange with a protected quotation

Why you think you may use the IEX router to eliminate the possibility of having your orders impacted by certain types of speed-enabled trading strategies (aka latency arbitrage)

I urge you with all of possible speed and with us in mind whom have been victims of by stealing our money with the disadvantages in current place with today's exchanges.

Respectfully,
