I am a "retail investor" who has been aware of naked shorting for over 10 years, being invested in Inovio Pharmaceuticals, one of the most shorted stocks in the market. The manipulation of the share price over the years has been criminal.

I find the idea of restricting access to financial tools extremely offensive. The market is built around the concept of public availability.
