To whom it may concern, I am a retail investor, and would like to make my thoughts on this rule. This rule goes against fair market mechanics, and gives unlimited power and scope to bad actors who would abuse such mechanics. It is set in place to "alleviate Fail To Delivers", but in action does nothing to eliminate them, which protects the action of naked short selling, which is ALREADY ILLEGAL. This rule leverages the complexity of financial vehicles to put power in the hands of institutions, effectively safe-guarding them from their own bad bets. Passing this new rule would only further deteriorate the American public's faith in a "free and fair market". I urge you to withdraw this proposal immediately.
