Dear SEC- You should re-instate the up-tick rule because it will help eliminate manipulation of the market by naked short selling, so as to make the market more fair, bringing a balance, to the fairness of trading and hopefully prevent another economic catastropy that we just experienced the last few months.

Thank You, Lynn deGrummond
