To Whom It May Concern, I would like to lend to support to the proposal to
introduce BOX to the trading public. Suffice to say, I trade electronically,
stocks and some futures, and in my view ANY new market can only enhance the
prospects of a small trader like myself. ASSUMING it is properly regulated.

The people at Interactive Brokers, which is one of a few different brokers I
use, suggest already existing exchanges will attempt to prevent this move.
From what I have read in the past, in the WSJ and other publications, this
is typical of entrenched financial interests.

I hope the SEC will not allow these interests to prevent the public
introduction of BOX.

Thank you.
