 The proposed rule change is clearly the result of a concerted effort on the behalf of market makers and their hedge funds collaborators to create a competitive advantage over individual retail traders. I am already very frustrated with the use of algorithmic trading and macro control methods to influence markets using short selling. This would allow these market makers ie: Citadel, to have even more power and competitive advantage in short selling stocks commonly traded by retail investors. Defend the people, we have to eat one way or another.
