Ms Countryman- 


I am a retiree.  My retirement savings depend on having a transparent and fair stock market.  Over the last two years, I've learned the US stock market is predatory and opaque.  Naked short selling allows hedge funds, market makers, their associated banks, and their captive media outlets to destroy companies by devaluing their stock value. 


The SEC acts like rampant short selling doesn't exist, in spite of evidence to the contrary. 


We need transparency now!
