As a retail Investor I strongly oppose this rule.
There are already safety measures in place for the market, and other rules to protect the market from bad actors. Those rules should be enforced.
Secondly, I think being able to halt a stock based on the \"opinion\" of \"protecting the public\" is too much of a misuse of power.
We saw what happened in January when wall street \"acted in the best interest\" of retail - while institutions were allowed to keep trading, or have we already forgotten?
By halting a security on the NYSE you're indirectly forcing trading into less transparent and more manipulated markets such as the ATS/OTC/Darkpool markets.
I STRONGLY oppose this filing.
