Hi, and Merry Christmas.
     
I am a small investor and would like to put in my 2 cents. Market Makers in 
the OTC-BB NASDAQ, should not be allowed the tool of "Naked Shorting". This 
gives them unfair leverage, that artificially drives the price down, giving 
the MMs more power than they already have.
     
As an investor I don't mind seeing a stock stall, things happen. But I'd 
also like to see a company's stock increase in value. If it does go down, it 
should not be artificially done, especially by those we are forced to deal 
with, and whom we expect fair treatment - MMs.
     
Thx.
