The prospect that those BORROWING stock that they do not
OWN and having equal OWNership rights does not make sense! Why should
my ownership rights be diluted by someone that simply borrowed their
shares, at a fraction of the cost and often times for nefarious
purposes where their motivation is pure greed? S7-06-22 should not
pass as written. Maybe try again with a goal of protecting household
investors. Why do we need buy in or advice in writing these rules from
the very people that have turned this whole market into what it's
become; a rigged and deceptive game? Above ALL else, protect the
backbone of the market, the household investor!
