I would support the PERMANENT solution proposal and bring back the "up-tick" rule

Discontinuing this rule has had disastrous effects on our financial markets and has led to wide spread abuses where large money managers, acting in concert can manipulate the markets.

Bring back the rule

Thank you for your attention.
