Dear SEC, I agree with the rejection of SR-OCC-2024-001 - and support the reasons for the dismissal as outlined on pages 4-5 of the Federal Register. It's imperative that the government look out for the retail investor rather than side with powerful banking interests who look out for themselves through lobbying and political donations and forum shopping. The market must be fair to all; if short-sellers take extreme risks that fail, that's their problem. Otherwise, you are rewarding them for their gambling/moral hazard. Thank you for upholding the integrity of our financial markets. Sincerely, B Park, a retail investor
