To whom it may concern, As a retail investor, I have pretty much lost all faith in the US's ability to provide a fair and transparent system for trading securities. The amount of due diligence that has been performed over the last year and posted for the average trader to see has exposed the current US market system for what it is, a playground for the elite where they can do whatever they want without any consequences. And for the first time, their corruption has been exposed, and instead of the SEC doing the job that you are supposed to be doing, you are working to pass more rules (like this new one) to bail them out instead of holding them accountable. This makes me believe that the SEC is not a fair and governing body, and instead is bowing to the whim of the white collar criminals that continue to exploit the marketplace and solidify the world view that the US market system is a sham. Please reconsider this proposed "rule", and every other blatant attempt to screw the average retail market holder, and instead do what you were hired to do and hold those in contempt of the system accountable.
