7.13 appears to allow the NYSE to hault training for up to 2 days for reasons listed. The issue here is while halted dark pool trading can still transpire. This proposed added rule will allow companies already taking advantage of small traders, retail traders, by manipulating the market by making exchanges in the dark pools while the stocks are out of reach of retail traders.
So at this point with the rule change if my stocks change to finally benefit me, the NYSE could halt trading, locking me away from my money and stocks. Market manipulators can then trade in dark pools to disadvantage my stock and then the halt stops and I can be back at or under value protecting corporate money ensuring I can never reach up. This is rigging stocks in favor of the rich corporate executives. If my penny stock goes to a million a share and I want to sell at that price, I should not be locked away.
