Hi Gary and Friends! I am writing as an insignificant, individual, retail investor and am, as you could likely assume, in full support of this rule. Over the course of the last year I, along with many, helplessly watched as the tactics, strategies, and actions illuminated in this proposal were fulfilled by entities of assumable power and resources on Wall Street. I won’t talk about the money that was lost (stolen) during this time. As you may already know, the solution was simple: buy and hold the securities found to be the most heavily manipulated/short-sold to apply pressure monetarily, and get as vocal (and sometimes obnoxious) as possible to apply pressure socially/politically. Call it the “Occupy Wall Street’s Money” movement, if you will (open to ideas for that). I am the utmost impressed with the diligence and thoroughness behind this proposal, and heartily commend you for following through with the a long-term solution to a part of the corruption within our financial system (emphasis on “a part”). I am aware that the SEC will likely go through hell from members of hedge funds on Wall Street due to this proposal, who will attempt to keep things in such a way that they can continue their chicanery. Please know and remember that you have quite literally a million (probably more) people ready to back you up if you stay the course and shut down the greed that seems to drive these hedge funds, market makers, prime lenders, etc. Sincerely, Tyler Eschle Staffing Associate
