Reverse the naked short selling rule back to what it was for seventy some years. The change in the rule has cost me tens of thousands of dollars and I will not invest in any more stocks till the "up-tick rule" is reestablished in its old form.

Until then, I'll invest my money in Chase. That is, a Chase Sanborn coffee can. You folks have created a coffee-can econemy, so that's what I'll do until you change things back to what it was. And I don't mean one of the "variations", I mean change it back to what worked for seventy five years

It has become apparent that we have the best government that money can buy, and I will not participate in a stock market that is rigged against the little guy The hedge funds, etc. can steal their money from someone else, I have already given them too much.

Until you folks reinstate the "up-tick rule" as it once was, I will stay out of the market that is rigged against me.

Please, REINSTATE THE UP-TICK RULE AS IT ONCE WAS
