I am a retail investor. There are millions of us against this rule change. Banks and hedge funds anticipate volatility in the open market and now seek advantageous ruling at the cost of retail investors. Margin calls are necessary in order to keep manipulation in check. The removal of such contingency could/will lead to predatory tactics such as over sales of shares versus availability. We the people believe this ruling change is guaranteed to be against retail investors and the integrity of the stock market as a whole.


                             Sincerely, Brian Tila
