Hello there, I am a retail investor who would like to comment on the SR-NSCC-2021-801 proposed ruling. I am strongly in favor of this rule, because it will finally hold people accountable for risky and destructive behaviors - namely, short selling and stock borrowing - that can have an enormous impact on the overall market and the health of our economy. I would like to see this rule pass and be implemented immediately. My final request is to see much harsher penalties for violations of SEC rules. Too often, these paltry fines are treated as the ‘cost of doing business’, and there is no real onus for them to change their ways. I truly appreciate your time and consideration, and wish you all the best in the coming years. Thank you, Mathew Marshall
