Hello SEC,

Rule-comments division, I’d like to submit comments on the new proposed NSCC-2021-010. I do not believe this rule protects the integrity of the market. This allows major players access to safeguards that are not available to all investors, as a retail investor this is concerning.

The language also reflects that there is in fact “naked shorting” occuring of stocks atleast to the degree that would warrant such a rule. I believe the rule should instead be denied and sustain the “free” aspect of the free market. I believe those who are naked shorting should be denied license for abusing this tool and pay for mistakes made vs allowing one group and not the whole market to participate in a service that will surely do irreparable damage to the free market and lose the trust of millions of future investors

Thank you,
