proposed changes in leverage ratio's
To Whom It May Concern:
In the name of freedom and respect for the individual, I strongly urge that you DO NOT make the
contemplated changes to the leverage requirements. I understand current requirements may add to
volatility and risk, but the principle of individual choice is more important than protecting some at the
expense of all. Individual clearing firms can change their requirments if they choose, so they provide
some degree of "protection," if needed.
Thank you for your tme and consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Gilbert, LPC
