The approach I suggest be taken best serves all concerned market participants IF IT ADDRESSES GENERIC FAIRNESS, NOT BEING OF ONE NARROW-INTEREST FACTION OR ANOTHER. The two PERMANENT solutions best match this approach.

I support either PERMANENT solution, but favor the "nation-wide best price" solution. I am an average small investor, who wants our MARKETS TO BE FAIR AND HEALTHY.

A literal 'bidding' BUYER must be matched real-time with a literal 'asking' SELLER NAKED SHORT SELLING COULD EVER BE JUSTFIED.
