To whom it may concern, As an individual retail investor who has been affected by the stock market recently, I feel that this rule should be strongly implemented as soon as possible. There has been clear Market manipulation that has taken place the past few months, and as a result, has taken its toll on many stocks and investments for many people. The past few weeks have shown clear manipulation with hedge funds taking advantage of holes in the system. I strongly feel that this is the same type of thinking and path that led us to the market crash in 2008. This time it was the relaxed spending that was brought on from the pandemic. Again, I strongly urge for 801 to be implemented ASAP before hedge funds and shorters alike are able to drive down the value and price of companies that do have value and are trying to come back from the pandemic. Thank you for your time and attention to this very important matter. Gabriel Godines -Teacher
