I fully support the implementation of this rule. I believe it will help to mitigate risky plays from all actors within the market. Particularly those who use short positions, FTDs, and the lack of transparency therein to blatantly (as has become very apparent in the previous few months) manipulate stock prices.
I welcome more transparency, as many other retail investors will.
In order for the average American to trust the economic system again, there need to be transparency and consequences for unethical business practices.
