Comment Text:
I am a doctoral student in communications and a US citizen submitting an independent comment. Please enact a thorough implementation of Dodd-Frank. Speculation limits should be placed on all traders who do not deal in the production or distribution of physical commodities. Traders, hedge funds, and other speculators do not provide socially useful services. In fact, their activities can be damaging to the economy and to the well-being of human beings who depend on accessibly priced food. Please tailor markets to serve primary human needs, not maximum capital gains.
