This is a very bad, bad move and appears to have been rushed thru. Maybe 
Spitzer was looking at shorting?

In case you haven't noticed, Bulletin Board stocks are flying higher 
and higher every day. And moves of 400% to 1000% are happening.

Where are these short sale boogeymen holding down equity prices?

This is a reaction to a long bear market in stocks that it appears we 
emerged from in march of this year.

You should be regulating the touting of many of these stocks.......I 
don't see ANY NEED TO CURB SHORTING....

This proposal will only be of benefit to Pump and Dump artists, who 
will make sure all stock is delivered out of DTC MAKING THE STOCK 
VIRTUALLY UNSHORTABLE!!! AND YOU AT THE SEC TALK ABOUT THE "FREE FORCES 
OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND!"

watch stocks move $1 on 500 to a few thousand shares....this will only 
increase VOLATILTY......

Join the REAL WORLD and realize you can't legislate morality..........
