Dear SEC,
I started investing in the market quite recently. After passionately researching the system to which I was entrusting the my savings, I became acutely aware how high frequency trading is damaging the free market. IEX should be a protected quote because I want the chance to have my orders executed on a fair market that does not provide select participants with speed advantages.
It is my sincere hope that your incredible ineptitude for regulation (which has not yet prevented the predatory, unproductive practices that high frequency trading permits) does not suddenly require you to impede the free market's way of righting itself where you have failed.
Thank you for your attention.
A.J.M, Investor
