These rules create an unfair and controlled marketplace for market participants, especially retail investors. Lage institutional investors ( smart money ) who over leverage themselves and engage in short sales assume the risk, up front . If these fund managers are unable to handle and manage the risk, they need to stop short selling and over leveraging . Maintaining margin requirements are needed to meet collateral and liquidly requirements. 
Short selling is in the process of being banned/illegal globally . It should stopped in this country.
If this rule passes, myself , along with many other retail investors will be pulling our money out of the market .
