Dear Sirs:
 
     I am outraged that the S.E.C. has done nothing to address the outrages 
of naked short selling, short and distort campaigns, the use of partially
covered short positions to avoid the short on uptick rules, and abusive short 
selling in general. 

    The entire concept is absurd. Someone can borrow my property without my 
permission, knowledge, and without compensation, and sell it. Only in the 
stock market is such a ridiculous system allowed.

    Now, with this rule change, the S.E.C. is prepared to act to protect the 
hoodlums that abuse a system that should not even exist anyway. Outrageous. 
Trash this rule change and address the short selling abuse. You are supposed 
to protect investors, not help defraud them.

     I will never buy another stock until you clean up this crooked system.

Sincerely,
                    Robert M. Post
