To Whom it May Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on this subject. I, as many retail investors have been subjected to numerous hedge fund and short attacks by their manipulative practices, but not at the level seen since January 2021. Criminal comes to mind, and they continue these practices to this day. Borrowing shares from one another, releasing fake articles about a company's future via hired hands/paid social media attacks, colluding to halt buying, synchronized bots to manipulate price action, etc., all in order to drive prices down to cover their miscalculations and squash retail investors. This rule will somewhat level the playing field and I recommend approval immediately. More must be done. Thank you for your consideration on this issue and hopeful passage of this rule.
