I am an individual retail investor from the UK and would like to express my opinion regarding this new proposed rule SR-NSCC-2021-801.
It's quite frankly a massive embarrassment for the USA having a stock market that is heavily and easily manipulated by those that already have all the money. No one cares about the retail investor. Grow a backbone SEC and start representing the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by regulating the stock market. STOP THE GREED.
I believe this rule - if enacted- is a step in the right direction towards accountability for those who engage in the short selling/stock borrowing program. It is time for an update to the current RegSHO closeout requirements and I believe that this SLD change in process from Monthly to Daily settlement is progress.
I would like to see this rule passed and implemented immediately.
Lastly on this ruling, I would like to see stronger penalties enacted for non compliance and violation of this rule.
Thank you for your time consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Marhult
