I fully support an uptick rule of some type. It be can be as before, or modified as indicated in your proposal. In either case it would be better than it is now. If the SEC does not believe that a group of hedge fund managers or even a very large group of people that is unified would take advantage of short selling rules now so they could punish a sector or a single company, well then the SEC must have their combined heads up in some dark and smelly place.
