What is wrong with our Stock Market? Answer = A Lot of Manipulation. 
Shut Down; Dark Pools, Fake Shares, Shorting, Spoofing and Payment for Order Flow. 
The OCC wants to make it easier for the Hedge Funds to use Fraud and Corruption in the market. 
Do Not Allow these Hedge Funds and Market Makers to self regulate. Do Not Allow Hedge Funds and Market Makers to set up their own Margin Requirements. 

Shut Down the Dark Pools, Fake Shares, Spoofing, and Payment for Order Flow. 
The USA is the Only Market left in the world that allows this to continue. The rest of the world knows how Corrupt these practises are and shut them down. 

SCC & OCC need to Stop all of the Fraud and Corruption to make our Markets fair for all retail investors. 

Our markets need to be as Trasnparent as possible to keep it Honest. 
Let's be Honest Dark Pools ,Fake Shares, Shorting, Spoofing and Payment for Order Flow, only helps the Hedge Funds steal from Retail Investors. 

They need to buy back all the Fake Shares, that they Sold but they haven't Purchased them back. Hedge Funds and Market Maker contunue to Manipulate the Market. 

SCC & OCC, Please Stop the Market Manipulation. 

Thank You,
