Hello, As a retail investor, I'd like to voice my support for proposal S7-32-10. It is my understanding that this proposal will help retail investors gain better access to swap data, which seems to be meeting resistance from some of the more well funded institutions and individuals such as the ISDA, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Hester Pierce, etc. My biggest question is why would such parties want to to oppose greater access to important investment information? What could these parties have to gain by opposing proposal S7-32-10? Are retail traders to infer that said parties - more capable of lobbying against such proposals - that hinder investment information due to possible ulterior motives? Does this not conflict with the SEC's goals and objectives? Is this not a case of unfair treatment to retail investors? Frankly, it's quite ridiculous that proposals such as S7-32-10 are allowed to have opposition in the first place and that retail investors have to comment to the SEC to voice their concerns for what is really the SEC's responsibility to enforce. The SEC is to proceed with enforcing S7-32-10 as it is in direct alignment with the SEC's goals and mandates, regardless of what any opposing parties might say otherwise. Failure to do so would indicate the SEC is not capable of delivering on it's stated goals and objectives. That being said, I'd like to thank you for acknowledging receipt of this comment. Please proceed with proposal S7-32-10. Sincerely, Mr. C.
