This proposed new ruling is unfair and does nothing but exasperate and extend the problems of predatory short selling. Such a proposed \"loop hole\" will only benefit hedge funds, market makers and banks by allowing them to \"Kick the Can\" which in turn will hurt companies whose stock has been shorted and retail investors who have invested in such. This proposed new ruling cannot be passed or the market will considered even more \"rigged\" than it is now and thus causing mass exodus from the US market by retails investors around the world
