Good morning, As an investor in the United States stock market and as a shareholder, I am very opposed to this rule. This rule is completely subjective and based on the opinion of one individual to halt trading. I do not believe the CEO or Chair would act “in the public interest,” but would act to protect bad actors and market manipulators. After all we have witnessed with the stock market this past year, retail investors understand this market is rigged against them with PFOF, dark pools, naked shorting, etc. The list goes on and on. To allow this rule to stand would be solely to protect those who rob the United States of what it could be if only main street was protected. The SEC needs to decide if it wants to start protecting the true investors, the workers, and the laborers of this country. The people are fed up. We have seen behind the curtain and we are not going away. If we continue to allow the cheats and snakes to win in our markets, we don’t have a country worth saving. Sincerely, James James
