As a retail investor I am already concerned about the transparency and accountability for large institutions. This ruling is not helpful to investors as it would increase avoidance of true market price discovery through onward lending. This proposal helps eliminate the risk of the illegal practice of naked short selling; and so should not be passed. This proposal is pro naked short selling and doesn't contribute to a fair market. There is a reason the proposal was denied in the past under a different guise. Please do the right thing. It is time for change. Make the markets the way their were intended to be.
