Concerning the shorting that's going on. I believe that SGLB falls into this category and should consider a similar type of petition.

Manipulative Short Selling
While conventional short selling can, within a well-regulated environment, produce certain positive outcomes, manipulative short selling results in ham1:fi.Il market ineffici encies and can severely damage otherwise healthy companies and investors who hold
long positions in the stock of such companies. Manipulative short sellers engage in practices that are not calculated as part of a rational and legitimate hedging or market making strategy, and
often attempt to illegally manipulate share prices for personal monetary gain.
The Commission has previously recognized the harm that manipulative short selling can cause, noting that " unrestricted short selling can exacerbate a declining market in a security by increasing pressure from the sell-side, eliminating bids, and causing a further
reduction in the price of a security by creating an appearance that the security price is falling for fundamental reasons." 16 Additionally, in proposing an Emergency Order during the financial crisis requiring Form SH filings, the Commission expressed its concern about "sudden and
excessive fluctuation of securities prices and disruptions in the fair and orderly functioning of the securities markets," and about "possible unnecessary or artificial price movements that may be
based on unfounded rumors and may be exacerbated by short selling."
