To all involved at the SEC: I am urging the SEC to NOT allow the NYSE to list “Natural Asset Companies” or NACs, pursuant to File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09. The continued efforts to financialize productive natural resources to subvert the legal system, to pervert the capital markets, and to cause harmful outcomes for both investors and the US alike cannot be enabled. Wall Street often cultivates a bad reputation and the SEC is supposed to be a counter balance to make sure the markets are free and fair for everyone and have the interests of the investors at heart. Do the right thing, and not that which is politically-pushed and power-driven by elites. Do not allow NACs to access our capital markets via NYSE listings or otherwise. Thank you for your consideration. Don Martin
