Dear Ms. Countryman (CC also to Dave Lauer): As a volunteer member of ' We The Investors' (who has not yet had the privilege to speak with Dave Lauer but appreciates his work to represent us), I want to thank you for representing all investors too, albeit with the SEC. We The Investors appreciates the opportunity to comment on the new economic data and analysis developed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”), regarding its Proposed Rule to modernize beneficial ownership reporting. Ms. Countryman ignore this part unless you talk to Dave, I know he is busy - Dave if you read this, please send me an email so we can talk sometime, thanks. I think our markets are being short-sold more than is healthy for years now, according to my investments in smaller companies that are being drained to zero. Hundreds of smaller companies are being extorted by market maker manipulation to force reverse-splits or bankruptcy, both of which ruin the brand names for future investment and steal money from investors. I know that our favorite lad and golden boy GG wants us to use nice legal terms for fraud, perhaps like "scam" but this is what is happening (despite Forbes and other billionaire mouth-pieces using commercial propaganda against us). So if this Proposed Rule (released in March 2022) and the Commission’s rulemaking seeks to: (1) update antiquated reporting requirements regarding large investment positions; and (2) improve market transparency and efficiency; then I support this progress towards a functional market again. We The Investors is organized around five key principles, as described in our Investors’ Bill of Rights. These include (1) Transparency; (2) Simplicity and Fairness; (3) Choice and Control; (4) Best Execution; and (5) Better Settlement and Clearing. Dave says that Transparency and Simplicity and Fairness will be increased this proposed rule, and I trust Dave from his words in video talks and actions in physical and written representation communications. Please do not let Citadel or other big boss companies see this, because they will probably send goons out to hurt us or have secret agencies freeze our assets. Oh well I dont think im giving them any ideas that they cannot do already through expensive surveillance contracts. I am scared of retaliation from these big businesses, as they seem to be willing to do anything to keep draining our savings accounts and ruining the ruins of a middle-class. I mean CEOs and board members are welcome to visit me if their wear their nice suits, but im not in favor of riot squads or assassins. Thanks for listening, and i do think billionaires should get to keep some yachts at least for educational purposes and to teach spelling. -- ~ SRA Walton D.
