The current consequences of increasing digitization make the prospect of 24 hour trading an imminent threat to the national security of everyday constituents. The lack of restraint over other tangential issues to the current market state (such as the metadata crisis, and AI and/or crypto enabled crime) means that the same, if not worse could be expected of negative phenomena to come from such a policy. Implemented prohibited trading hours provides a foundation for effective research, and regulatory work to be done without interruptions for the betterment of our economy; this kind of proactive stewardship will be integral to future stability in the face of so many experimental propositions to finance and economic structure. While it is important that our government protects our rights to a fair, open economy, it is utterly important that the maintenance of such is not pandering to the whims of latent adversaries in the pursuit of short run gratification. While discussion of this (and other proposals) continues, my hope is that the SEC’s obligation to the philosophy of the Constitution, and therefore every constituent remains central to every conversation and decision.
