Dear Sirs:

Please support IEX's application to become an exchange with a protected quotation. I believe this would help restore public trust in Wall Street and provide the SEC with an opportunity to make a statement about the protection of long term investors over High Frequency Traders.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

James J. Gold
