Hello, 


I am writing to express my support for the "Tick Size Rule."  
Without this reform, market makers retain an unfair advantage by trading at sub-penny intervals.  


I want to see fairness for everyone, market maker or not. 
I want to see transparent, open markets with true price discovery. 


I want to see real punishments for brokers, fund managers, and others who break the rules.  
No more ridiculously low fines that are dwarfed by ill-gotten gains. 
Those financial figures who knowingly break the law for profit should receive criminal penalties that include jail time. 
Only strong consequences will discourage bad actors. 


Thank you for your consideration. 


Best regards, 
Karen Nemes
