I would like to show my overwhelming support for this rule. In my opinion, the capital markets are broken and there is manipulation going on in many tickers. It is clear that supply and demand are not what truly move prices any longer. From what I have seen all retail heavy stocks, meaning all stocks that have high percentages of retail traders invested have been heavily shorted and manipulated down so that retail gives up and sells. I don't believe retail has access to reputable numbers when it comes to short interest either. It is also EXTREMELY worrying that 90-95% of retail orders go to dark pools. Please do your best to shed light on the areas of the market that have remained dark and thus allowing for manipulation to take place.
