Hello,

As a retail investor I was shocked and outraged when Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commision, Gary Gensler announced that upwards of 90% of retail trades go through non-lit exchanges.

I am strongly in favor of this proposal and feel it helps to strengthen the tarnished reputation of the US markets.

Thank you,

Eric Maas
