I am generally in favor of reducing rules and regulations that hamper businesses unnecessarily. However, raising the 13F reporting threshold dramatically as proposed would do a disservice to many individual investors.

Although I would prefer to leave the threshold unchanged, if the SEC feels that it must raise the threshold, a much more moderate increase such as a doubling to $200 million would be in order.

Thank you for considering my comments.
