Subject: S7-24-99 Date: 11/28/99 Sirs: I applaud your consideration of the rule that will limit the "legal" ability of Market Makers to manipulate the market in any OTC-BB stock for their own personal gains. The practice of naked shorting is properly prohibited for investors. The fact that the Market Makers can engage in this behavior in the name of "maintaining an orderly market" is very disturbing when it is clear that "maintaining an orderly market" is of about zero concern to them. They have repeatedly demonstrated that their real interest is making money for themselves, at the expense of the investing public. Thank you for this opportunity to discuss the proposed rule. I urge you to adopt it. Very truly yours, --David Guy
