I am writing as a retail investor, very concerned about the implications of the rule you proposed. It seems to me that the SEC does not care for the fairness and interests of retail investors. Without market transparency, institutional investors and Market Makers essentially can manipulate the “free” market with taxpayer/retail investors hard earned money, with no risk or consequences. Naked shorting without consequence will be the end of the U.S stock market.

Please think twice about said rule, democracy depends on it.

Sincerely, a retail investor.
