 Dear Ms. Countryman,

A market maker should not be able to do business with a hedge fund

A market maker and a hedge fund's ultimate beneficial owner(s) cannot be the same person(s) due to conflict of interest.

You should not be able to operate a market maker if you're running a hedge fund -- and vice versa.

Please consider adding this to this Important rulemaking proposal to guarantee proper functioning of U.S. financial markets.

Thank you
