Hi, As a investor, I am appalled that this rule is being proposed. It flies in the face of a fair and true market. This gives a lot of power to the big and potentially bad players of our markets. I do not believe that shorting or let alone naked shorting should be ever allowed in the market. I do not believe making it less risky for market makers and hedge funds with the use of SFT will do anything but screw retail over. Retail investors would not have access to this venue that the bigger players have access to. Not to mention all the other venues retail doesn't have access to. This coupled with the inaction to deal and govern short sales and FTD's are leading to a nation wide mistrust in the US markets. Please start tackling the bigger issues at hand like short selling and FTDs and stop allowing corruption and trickery happen behind close doors at the expense of retail investors. Kind regards from an investor that is tired of loosing money to unfairness and corruption in the markets.
