Having been introduced to IEX through Michael Lewis' writing I am a supporter of what IEX stands for and would like to see their application approved by the SEC as soon as possible. For once, there is an example of a company in the financial markets bent on fairness and truth (vs. profits at any cost). Their example is inspiring and they should be rewarded with a speedy approval of their application to become a fully-fledged National Securities Exchange. Shame on the SEC if they mishandle this opportunity to restore some amount of faith in the financial markets.
