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. Increased scrutiny of dark pools (some of these stocks are being traded 60% in dark pools) Elimination of being
Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors.

Overleveraging themselves into positions based on pride and ego and then expecting the American Taxpayer to foot the bill when they go bankrupt and lose people's retirement and 401k is absolutely appalling.
