To whom it may concern, The proposed rule serves only to allow market makers, hedge funds and other large equity players to further skew the "fairness" of the markets in their favor. Allowing the use of SFTs to eradicate FTDs allows legal means for hedge funds and market makers to dilute market value via naked shorting and endless FTDs, stealing value from retail investors and destroying legitimate companies' market value. This kind of proposal is precisely the opposite of what the SEC should be doing. Sincerely, A concerned retail investor.
