The right to sell short in a stock market should not be limited to the super-rich. The average investors should have the same right through inverse funds. The risk should be borne by the investor himself, who should know what he is doing, and NOT forcibly eliminated by the seemingly good intention of the Regulators!
The gambling of Wall Street must end. The entire world economy is at risk from the gambling of a few bad actors. Company's can be destroyed by dark money pools short selling and pushing down stock prices rather than their ability to perform for its clients and in the market place.

Close dark pools and cancel shorting stocks it is unfair to retail investors and the companies that are going out of business. This system is rigged and unfair to the investors and worker.

Any attempts by institutional investors to drive stock prices up/down (smear campaigns, fake DD, Spam/Ads) should result in fines that actually impact the guilty parties, not just a tiny percent of the profit from the illicit activities.

You are requested to comment on these proposals. Let's face it, the Hedge Funds are going to be using their voices to prevent these changes from occurring so we need to use our voice too.
