I strongly encourage the Securities and Exchange Commission to approve IEX's application to be registered as an national registered securities exchange. The initiative by IEX is not a move away technology, but is a move that utilizes technology in a manner that is consistent with the spirit and intent of the laws which govern the system of trading in the United States. It is a market response towards fairness and can help restore public trust.
Please interpret their application fairly for the betterment of the market and investors, both big and small. It's about trust in the market and the people who administer the system of trades. I want to know that the strongest economy in the world has committed itself to avoid impropriety or the appearance of impropriety. That the statutes and regulations of the SEC are not manipulated for the special interests of High Frequency Trading firms and predatory models. The world is watching.
Thanks kindly,
Cameron Paulikot
