I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE OLD RULE RE-ESTABLISHED. I HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE MARKET AFTER WHAT I HAVE SEEN SINCE THE RULE WAS LIFTED. INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS AND COMPANIES ALIKE HAVE SUFFERRED AT THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO USE SHORT SELLING TO FORCE SITUATIONS THAT BENEFIT THEM ALONE. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT HAVE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THIS RULE BEING PULLED AND INVESTORS WHO HAVE LOST A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE SAME REASON. I WANT A FAIR SITUATION BEFORE I WILL HAVE ANY FAITH IN THE STOCK MARKET AGAIN. THE DECK IS STACKED AGAINST ME.
