I would like to see the short sale rule reinstated. Watching market manipulators deplete my 401k and my wife's 301b during market declines is extremely frustrating. Large swings in stock values create a tremendous lack of confidence in stock market investing and the lack of the short sell rule leaves the door open for manipulation Thank You . . .
