"Protecting the market's integrity" should never supersede protecting the people. Allowing dark pools to operate while markets are halted provide an unbalanced oversight and greatly limits the autonomy of the retail investor. Really what is the purpose of the SEC or government? Why do hedge funds and banking institutions receive such protections? Are they too big to fail? And if they are, are they also too big to intertwine with the SEC and other facets of society? If that is the case, and you believe that, why does the SEC even exist? Please be better, far too many people from too many walks of life are feeling marginalized by a system that is being protected by the system. If you can not even do that, please dissolve and save us our pennies in funding your existence. PS. Perhaps you are underfunded. If that is the case, begin to expose or stop protecting these same politicians and their families who are still able to inside trade while choosing to limit your budget. Thanks
