The level of outright manipulation, fraud, and unethical activity simply given a free pass or slap on the wrist in the market is insurmountable for retail investors, but here I am trying to do my part.   Now,  for this second call for comments after all of those received on the first call were simply deleted,  I'll try to be succinct.   We retail investors demand, not ask, that you enforce rules of transparency, fairness, and ethical trading to all participants equally.  We are fed up with your catering to the most wealthy actors with laundry lists of violations going blatantly unpunished.   We demand transparency and requirements for reporting of true information on a reasonable time table.  I write this letter out of duty.  However, I have no faith whatsoever in your organization's willingness or ability to do little more than lipservice to this issue. 


Disgusted, 
Dr. Blake Armstrong.
