The proposed rule by the Options Clearing Corporation should not be adopted. The margin requirements should never be reduced for any institution. All institutions should be held accountable for their actions. Market behavior that is unfavorable to any institution's investment strategy should never be grounds for changing the rules. Institutions should be held to a higher standard than the rules that are currently in place. As of now the margin requirements are too low.
