Good morning, I am writing you this email to comment on the proposed regulation SR-OCC-2024-001. Reducing the margin requirement during a period of increased volatility in the market is akin to allowing market makers and such to thrive on murky practices such as naked short selling and dark pulls redirected buys. Affecting direct buys from the common people. The whole world is watching to understand if the US marked is still something worth investing on, or if it has just become the playground for multi national companies. Please make the right call, and think of the people. In hope, Michele Simonetti
