Dear SEC,
It is my opinion that SR-NYSE-2021-45 would benefit retail investors and I do not see why it should be denied. All of the concerns raised seem to have been addressed in Amendment No. 2 to the rule.
I also find it interesting that the only comments against the rule are from an investment banker (who would be motivated by self-preservation and not the interests of investors in general), a member of a capital management firm that does not appear in a Google search and the closest result is of an organization focused on VC and SPACs (once again motivated by self-preservation and not the interests of investors in general), and someone claiming to be the infamous Tran Dong of the PSTH subreddit who has not posted in about a year and does not spell his username with the number 8 (clearly not someone who should be taken seriously and an imposter). In short, the only ones who have opposed Amendment No. 2 are acting in their own self interest with little to no regard for investors in general or are trolling. I believe the SEC will look beyond these attempts to continue to continue restricting retail investors. I also believe that those opposing the amendment will not have their business significantly impacted as a result of approval of this rule. Its about time that retail investors have an opportunity to invest early and knowingly in companies going public.
