This is a terrible idea. "Dark" companies should be allowed to trade on our public markets. I know many Americans who are capable of getting enough info on these companies, either from the companies themselves or other (legal) means.

Shutting down trading is an unwise move to limit our freedoms and hurt free markets in general.

Please reconsider.

Best,
