Hello,
This proposed rule-change by the NYSE seems very suspicious. The rule states the CEO of the NYSE and others can shutdown trading of any and all NYSE-traded securities if, IN THEIR OWN OPINION, would be in the public benefit. This is a terrible conflict of interest. What if these folks have interests that would best served if trading were halted? Since when do we allow opinions to run the securities market? The SEC would be doing a grave disservice to the public by allowing this rule to stand.
Thank you.
