As a retail investor I vehemently oppose this filing. Having seen trading suspended by different brokerages in recent memory, and with little to no action by SEC on the behalf of retail investors, there is no faith that these powers will be used as stated in the filing.
Instead, there is a perception that these powers will be used arbitrarily, or in the favour of institutions caught in a bad play
This is an unfair rule change at the last second to save Market Makers and Hedge Funds. It does not protect retail investors at all.
