    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    To whom it may concern.
    I would like to strongly discourage the limitation of leverage in the
    retail Forex environment. I would like to remind you that the trader
    has full discretion to pick that amount of leverage that is right for
    them. This country is born and based on freedom and this is another
    case where consenting adults are choosing of their own free will to
    engage in acitivites of their own accord. We do not need your help to
    tell us what "too much leverage is". You do have a role in making
    sure these places are above board and are running legitimate
    businesses. Quite frankly you have no right to limit leverage. You
    do not know what is best for us, only "free" individuals can make that
    decision and they have the right to select any amount of leverage they
    so choose. Please drop any and all attempts to regulate leverage in
    the retail Forex environment and just focus on going after the "bad
    guys".
    Thank You.
