I support the proposed changes. In addition i believe that there are several levels of self-dealing, impropriety, negligence and perhaps outright fraud-by-omission, happening at the SEC itself, which routinely harms retail investors as a class. My suspicions were raised by commentary around 'meme stocks' and comments by various industry professionals in publicly available materials. I

As a Country, we've lost confidence in the free market of the United States of America. My suggestions would be: T-0 real time settlement FTD's forced to deliver per the regulations Enforcement of illegal naked shorts that have decimated retail's portfolios for decades.
