 For too long theses sHF have been profiting (without any consequences) of a market mechanic that I'm struggling to justify the existence of  short selling.
I've been reading the comments of some of theses sHF on this very rule and what a surprise, they're all against the proposal, and some are even trying to imply that the rule would hurt retail... What a joke
This rule is something we desperately need to keep an eye on greedy actors and hopefully keep them in check if necessary. It's a little step in the right direction but i wont complain when once in a while, the SEC is actually doing some work.
Anyway, do not back down on this one, transparency is always good, except where there is crime i guess.

P.S. I tried to include my phone number in the form but it wont take it. Every time i submit the form I'm getting an error on the phone number field with every formatting possible...
