March 15, 2023 I was completely for this proposal until the changes made for exceptions. There are NO EXCEPTIONS Liquidity only comes from selling securities not yet owned. This is and should be illegal. The locate function is blatantly abused and those securities never get purchased, ending up as ftd's Failure To Deliver's Naked short selling of any kind is harmful to discovery and shouldn't be allowed. A \"reasonable ability to locate\is hypothetical at best and should be disabled If no stock exists, no sale of the stock is allowed What should happen is a buy order should be put through and each person sees the buy order in their brokerage app and decides if they want to sell at that price and vice-versa Give retail investors access to real price discovery, not the fake price we see every day Thank you for your time.
