March 31, 2023 I support this rule to increase fairness and transparency in our markets. I support the proposal for public auctions as a way to implement fairness and integrity in our capital markets. For far too long, market makers such as Virtu and Citadel have used Payment For Order Flow to front run household investors who make up the middle class. This rule will be a stepping stone to finally creating transparency in our markets, especially when it comes to exposing market maker privileges and the abuse of dark pools. Removing the middle man will improve prices for individuals and institutions and save millions of dollars. In these trying economic times the backbone of America, it's middle class, needs to be protected against the abusive practices of High Frequency Trading and Payment for Order Flow.
