I strongly oppose shutting down the market for 1-2 days based on the opinion of the CEO or chair of the NYSE.
This is an arbitrary rule and does nothing to protect investors. There are already circuit breakers in place to allow for cooler heads to prevail during market turmoil. Allowing a shutdown of 1-2 days will increase peoples unease and distrust of markets potentially setting off even more dire actions by investors.
Please do not allow this rule change proposal to go into effect.
