As a retail investor I oppose these changes. The SEC should be the agency policing fairness in the market. The proposed changes will only further support the lack of transparency in the market. Trying to halt margin calls while allowing shorting isn't even close to being a fair system. If there is a need to halt margin calls then there is also a need to limit what is allowed to be purchased or sold on margin. As the SEC it is irresponsible to only make this one sided to keep the market makers happy. Please reconsider the changes
