As a retail investor, I am highly against Proposed Rule Change SR-NSCC-2022-003 for what I believe to be very obvious reasons. The fact that you even entertain this sort of proposal is.. disturbing, to say the least. You should also make this information much clearer for the everyday investor - not everyone has the sources or ability to figure out what any of them mean, and I believe that to be intentional to keep retail investors uninformed or intimidated through highly complex processes and wording. Please remove this proposed rule and furthermore please do not try to propose something similar again in the future, as iterations of this have been rejected in the past and continue to be rejected by educated investors every time they resurface. What a colossal waste of time, mine and yours, to continue to have to repeat this song and dance over and over again. I want those who hold short positions to bear the fruit of their actions - if they profit through legitimate means, then great. But when they make mistakes they should not be allowed to weasel out of paying the piper their due. --Retail investor
