As an active and passive investor for the past decade, I have concerns regarding lowering margin requirements over periods of increased volatility. Increasingly, the gambling activity rampant in our society should not be legitimized top down. We need to secure our nations reserves and this idea that we should continue to accelerate additional margin financing and increased risk taking for no negligible benefit is foolhardy and short sighted. I reject the idea of lowering margin requirements.
