Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Jeff Lyden

Regarding the addition of a Natural Asset Company designation to the NYSE: I am opposed. I urge the SEC to rule against this proposal. Approving this proposal opens the door for bad actors, whether individuals, nation-states, or their proxies to pour money into the purchase of American land and effectively lock up any economic activity that might otherwise be engaged. From food production to mineral extraction to recreational activity. VOTE NO
