March 7, 2023 I support this proposal. The American stock market is broken...or perhaps it's functioning exactly how it was designed: to give an advantage to large institutions at the expense of \"retail\" investors. It is quite something to see three of the largest players in the financial sector team up like the Avengers in an attempt to maintain the status quo of ripping off us pesky retail traders by front-running our trades. The comments of Citadel, NYSE, and Schwab are so blatantly biased they would be comical if not so disingenuous and downright dangerous. If our country is to have hope, we need to begin actually regulating our financial markets and stop allowing predatory financial criminals to bankrupt our businesses and our citizens with impunity. When it comes down to it, fair financial markets are a human right. The majority of American's savings are tied up in IRAs, 401K's, pensions, and other financial vehicles that rely on the stock market for stability and growth. People's livelihoods are at stake every single trading day. The SEC can not continue to sit back and allow market makers to have a decided advantage over household investors. Thank you.
