In a series of tweets by Dave Lauer, he is reporting that in recent DC discussions MMTLP has been a hot topic.

I spent the week in DC meeting with members of Congress, their staffs, and plenty of people over at the SEC. We talked about equity market structure, abusive short selling, Gamestop, and yes even MMTLP. DC is paying attention right now to individual investors.

He further clarified his comments in additional tweet replies

Your comment letters are working. Change is happening. It might be slower than you want, but we're talking about changing decades of rules – it takes time. Every meeting they remarked about the number of comment letters and the passion of individual investors.

“Every meeting they wanted to know what regulatory & legislative changes could be made to make markets simpler, more fair, and more transparent. We’ll have a lot more to say soon, but don’t lose hope, don’t get tired.”

So for anyone new to this saga you might be wondering who is this Dave Lauer? You can do a deep dive on Dave and his somewhat bumpy but smoothed out relationship with our community with this search link.

Lauer lists himself as an “advocate for fair markets” on his X profile and holds an unpaid advisory role with FINRA.

Throughout the MMTLP saga he has waffled a bit on his position standing with the MMTLP situation but later began calling for more transparency from the SRO.

Dave was one of the guests when MMTLP was discussed on the Jon Stewart online program.

After learning more about this communities plight, he later tweeted additional support.

Fast forward now to present time, we hadn’t heard much from Dave in awhile but his recent tweets show that he is truly advocating for free and fair markets with a focus on retail investors and even MMTLP.

His support for all of the above is welcome and we hope results in real change for MMTLP investors and the unfairness of the stock market in general.
