I really don't know what you are waiting for, I don't remember 60 days for comments when the uptick rule was suspended. The Stock Market should exist as an aid for companies to raise capital, not legalized gambling for traders. There have been far to many rules changes favoring those that short companies, and no enforcement on the few remaining restraints ( ie naked shorting ) At a MINIMUM we need the uptick rule back and some perp walks for naked shorting.
