Hello, I’m writing this to communicate that I do not support the rule amendment to rule 7.13. A free and open market should always be controlled by supply and demand. If someone is willing to sell at a price that someone else will buy at, I don’t not see an issue. I understand that other exchanges have this amendment in place. I do not find this as a valid reason to add this. As the saying goes, “if your friends jumped off the bridge, would you too?” I do not believe a single person’s opinion should be allowed to directly interfere with the free and open market, regardless if they believe it would be in the public’s best interest. It is still just their opinion and that is too much control for a single person to have over another’s investments and a company’s investors. Thank you, Ian Kautzman -- Ian
