Subject: Date: 11/26/99 3:35 AM REFile no.s7-24-99 Naked Shorting I would like to suppot of the sec. in establishing the rule preventing the sheer manipulation of the OTC stockby Market Makers. The amount of money lost to investors through that practice is enourmous, and the investor is at the complete mercy of the Market makers. While Market Makers are essential to the orderly buying and selling ot OTC stocks the self controlling is a joke. It is in my belief that essential control and regulations be adopted and enforced. I am an individual investor , and represent only myself. I encourage the impementation of the aboce cited rule. Respecfully, Christoph Piening 817 brand rd Sprakers NY. 12166
