April 8, 2021 SR-NSCC-2021-801 Hi, I am an individual retail investor and would like to comment regarding the newly proposed rule SR-NSCC-2021-801. I believe if this rule is enacted it would help ensure confidence and accountability in the stock market. As a matter of fact, I'm heavily invested in, AMC, SOS and WKHS and I've watched the price go up and down to 30%-50%. It really seems as though someone is 'playing games' with this stock in particular and putting the investments of themselves and others in peril. It makes you question the whole system. Are we investing in companies that we want to see grow and prosper or are we being held in limbo while people play games and manipulate the price to be able to be successful on puts and calls in the background? It feels like retail investors are getting left out of something. I think if institutions were held to stricter standards and much tighter margin requirements, these things would be discouraged. Otherwise, I honestly worry about the whole system. No one wants to see another 2008. I’m from Canada and I support this rule. I trust SEC decision making and controlling. Birwa Parekh
