Good morning  
To whom it may concern.  You already have over 7 million retail investors preparing to leave the market.  Due to your obvious attacks on how retail trading is done.  First we're predatorized by a PFOF market.  Then we're watching blatant ladder attacks.  Then we get the whole purchase ability to buy stocks removed from us.  Then back to ladder attacks and blatant corruption that your organization already has rules against.  But because we feel: you don't give a rats buttocks about the retail investors you refuse to enforce.  You have outside country investors looking at the SEC of our great country.  Apologizing to us for having to be in, deal, and be subjected to such a defective system.  These outside investors are trying to reach their governments to see what they can do about such dismissal of a claim to a free market.  You're opening ourselves judiciary processing from other countries.  By passing laws that only blatantly protect the rich and not the common man. 


I personally have a figure amount in the 1**,*** stake in our "free" market.  If you multiply even a fraction of that by 7,000,000 you're talking about losing billions of dollars of trust at once.  What would happem if 7,000,000 individuals pulled 10,000 out of American markets due to lack of protection, disbelief, and tom foolery by a government agency meant to protect everyone?
