To whom it may concern:
I am requesting that you stop and reverse the changes that NYSE Arca has made in regards to the release of their market data. Specifically their Daily Short Volume reports. This data was free to the public for years, as it still is with the other exchanges. What disappoints me the most is the data should continue to be free and easily accessible to all. To put a price tag of $6000 per year for a little guy like me to pay for information which was free is crazy. I thought it was all about market transparency and leveling the playing field for all investors? It is just one more step for the large and power to continue to manipulate the markets in their favor. Also one more step for them to step on the small investor like me. I give them enough money through my losses each year because they have the upper hand.
