PLEASE REINSTATE THE ORIGINAL UPTICK RULE

this rule provided balance and promoted capital growth for many decates prior to the SEC removing this safegard in 2007. My 401K, where I was heavy into financials, was destroyed by unrelenting short selling last year.

PLEASE REINSTATE THE ORIGINAL UPTICK RULE

Thank-You
