I have watched with growing concern over the past several months regarding various actions in the market that seem to go unchecked by either the SEC or self regulatory bodies. Clearly these activities are not unnoticed (as myself and thousands of others have noticed them, and pointed them out in public forum) but they continue unabated. Highly suspicious trading patterns, and manipulative use of market mechanisms has resulted in what I and many of my peers feel are extraordinarily unstable and dangerous market conditions. The proposed ruling would give a significantly shorter leash to market bad actors and prevent their selfish and destructive actions from harming the market at large.
