This proposed rule change may cause more risk to retail investors, if those making the decision to suspend are influenced by market makers, etc. It will allow manipulation elsewhere while others are shut out from simply buying or selling the security. This market is supposedly \"fair\", it's time that it reflects that quality. Let securities ebb and flow as their intended. Let's say, hypothetically, that if a certain stock has been heavily shorted and those short are forced into closing their positions, it should be allowed to happen without influence from exchanges, etc. Far too often, like in January 21, retail traders are unfairly manipulated in the market. In January, brokers like Robinhood and TDA, limited or stopped the purchase of securities. Occurrences such as these must simply stop and any proposed rule changes under the guise of protecting retail will likely only limit retail, once again. Traders expect fair markets.
