 As a retail investor, I am entirely in favor of more transparency, reporting and regulations where derivatives and swaps are concerned.

These financial instruments are abused all too often by financial institutions. If a market participant breaches their margin requirements, there should be no leeway or collusion to allow them more time to 'fix' the situation. Such courtesies are not granted to retail investors, so why are they granted to hedge funds?

I support this proposal.
