SEC Advisory Committee Wants Feedback

[particleswaves]

(at least so they say)

=== In a change of schedule, the SEC is asking investors in smaller public companies to testify next week in New York to its Advisory Committee on
Smaller Public Companies, and to submit comments, whether testifying or not, by THIS FRIDAY!

For those who would like to directly address the SEC concerning market manipulations, the DTCC and other problems associated with illegal short selling that impact your holdings, this is your invitation.

Also, the SEC would no doubt like to hear from those who believe their investments would suffer if the more onerous and COSTLY provisions of Sarbox 404 were to be applied to and become a cash drain on the companies in which you are invested.

My Letter.
---------------------------
Dear Sirs,
Regarding rules changes for smaller public companies, the present securities laws are clearly not ensuring trade settlements. I am an investor in a small public company, many of whom's shareholders have gathered together under a lawyer. With approximately 15% of OBO/NOBO account numbers accounted for via a shareholder account-statement fax campaign, combined with the Company's transfer agent's certified shares numbers, we can assert ownership of approxiametly 118% of the company's legitimate O/S. Obviously, many unsettled trades exist in the remaining approxiamately 85% of accounts. These numbers do not account for shares held in international accounts either.

Please consider that ALL unsettled trades after T+3, should be FORCED to settle within 5 business days. And that all fails to delivers in all stocks beyond T+3 should be listed as such as mandatory trade settlement information published daily by the SEC, and immediately made publicly available online, for all investors to see. This would best ensure transparency and prompt settlements within our securities industry.

Thank You,
