I am a retail investor and I am in favour of this rule. Please make the enforcement perfectly clear in these rules. The punishment should be the profit + a percent of total income for investigation. The less upfront financial firms are through filibuster tactics the more they pay.
Due to the lack of consequences on Wall Street I fear as a retail investor that crime, gross negligence, and misreporting have become the new standard. These issues are undermining the integrity of the United States financial markets.
Until the overall dark pool abuse, (90 - 95% as admitted by Gary Gensler) is resolved, trust will continue to diminish in the NYSE and retail investors will find other ways to invest our funds. I fear we have lost the meaning of fair markets, and that this rule is a step in the right direction.
