Comments = I am writing you this letter to show that I am in favor of the 
proposed Concept Release (No. 34-42037; File No. S7-24-99). I am a shareholder 
in antssoftware ANTS otcbb.  i suspect that name may ring a bell for you. i may 
be a simple working stiff, but even i can see the stupiity of allowing market 
makers to sell something they dont own.  Would you please respond to this 
question "why do you allow it" (your standard answer- to maintain orderly 
markets is not going to fly )
thank you
