Dear Ms. Countryman: As an individual retail investor, I thank you for your effort to create more competition and transparency in the market, and I appreciate the chance to comment on these proposals. These recommended enhancements constitute one of the most significant changes to U.S. equity market structure since Regulation NMS was implemented in 2005. I support these changes being implemented. The SEC should reduce conflicts of interest by increasing transparency in the routing of orders by brokers and wholesalers, with investors having access to the best priced quotations available in the NMS. Thank you for your time.
