Thank you for addressing the problem of short-selling abuse.
As an unaffiliated retail investor it saddens me when our markets can be unbalanced to benefit those manipulators
which do not operate in good faith.
As it stands now, powerful and collusive cabals have an unfettered advantage over the natural  price discovery mechanism.
It must be paramount that real INVESTORS can research a company's operation and feel secure that their judgment
will be validated based on the company's performance alone.
This is the heart of capitalism. If this confidence is eroded by clever machinations then honest folk will leave the market.

This is a moment of truth, are we capitalists or cannibals?

Please stay strong and do the right thing.
