Hello, As a retail investor, I am concerned about the state of the market if SR-OCC-2024-001 happens to pass. I believe that by passing SR-OCC-2024-001, the SEC would be doing retail investors like myself a disservice by allowing hedge funds to skirt market regulations in pursuit of their bottom dollar. By reducing margin requirements, SR-OCC-2024-001 would completely decimate any semblance of a fair market and further tip the scales toward hedge funds. I believe that SR-OCC-2024-001 goes against all free-market values and therefore this email serves as a staunch opposition to the passing of SR-OCC-2024-001. I sincerely hope that the SEC takes this email in good faith and does not allow SR-OCC-2024-001 to pass. Best, - A concerned retail investor.
