As a household investor who is active in the American markets I am writing to strongly oppose reducing margin requirements for large institutional investors, especially when there is high volatility. In fact I believe that margin requirements should be INCREASED, not decreased in such circumstances of high volatility. As a household investor I am sick and tired of large institutional investors with lots of money playing by different rules than average household investors. It makes me lose faith in the markets and faith in our regulatory systems. Force big players to play by the rules and do not give them any unfair advantages over the rest of the market! 


Sincerely,
