Please reconsider this act.   Adding additional leverage to overleveredged hedge fund positions will create positions detrimental to a stable marketplace.
Please recreate legislation that reduces leverage and margin during times of high risk/turbulence.  Smart legislation !

Protect Main Street not Wall Street.  Yes funds may fail, yes Main Street may lose money because of that , but consider the overall health of the markets.   Bad actors get eliminated from the market for making bad investments.
