The SEC should suspend the practice of naked short selling in the United States equity markets for a period of at least 60 days. During this time, an investigation should be opened to see the extent that the enemies of the United States (both foreign and domestic) are using the practice to destroy American markets and American-based businesses. These enemies cannot defeat the United States militarily, but they can use their wealth, through domestic proxies, to tear down the American financial system. It is a practice that is being used to harm Americans by destroying their retirement savings and undermine our economic stability.
