Hi, Mr. Gensler. I believe that abuse of dark pools is monumental in the egregious manipulation of the market and the suppression of stock prices that the retail investor is involved in. I also believe that the time brokers are allowed to reports their positions is not fit for today's market. The T2 is MUCH much too long. T-0 would be ideal. Transparency is vital for a fair market, it would make the market thrive and it would encourage potential investors to participate and feel that it is an even and fair playing field. The loop holes in the rules need to be closed and changed in order to prohibit the perpetrators getting over in naked shorting and PFOF needs to be done away with. Correcting these key issues would encourage potential investors would encourage potential investors to participate and aloow the market to thrive in a transparent and fair way. Please take a moment to consider a way to address my sentiment. Thank you sincerely.
