    Regulation of Retail Forex
    *RIN 3038-AC61
    * Sir,
    I write to submit my opinion on proposed rule to limit leverage to 1:10
    in Forex Trading and other limitations.
    1. Millions of small independent investors (traders) like me will remain
    WITHOUT any sort of income. Does Obama or his consultants have an idea
    of how many americans AS WELL worldwide small independent investors
    like me will be left w/o hope at an age where find a job is IMPOSSIBLE
    (even if you got an university degree in economics and a large and
    qualified work experience like mine)? The answer is MILLIONS.
    2. These million of people include many non americans currently
    investing their money IN THE US brokerage firms. This cash investment
    flow in your Country will END an moved to NEW FINANCIAL FREEDOM
    COUNTRIES (wasn't USA once this country?)
    3. Biggest banks worldwide make HUGE profits on Currency trading. If you
    cut those profits, do you think the customer and taxpayer will benefit?
    The answer is NO. The banks will either move their operation overseas
    or RAISE COSTS of their SAFE services to Survive.
    4. I, as an independent trader, DECLARE my right to have the last voice
    and decision about how much risk (i.e. leverage) I want to take. NOBODY
    ELSE has and will have this right.
    5. The only consequnce of this KILL1NG limitation if approved, would be
    millions of mouses leaving the sunking boat and moving to other
    Countries, and if Europe will follow this route, will always be some
    offshore country smart enough not to kill one of the brick of
    CAPITALISM, something that MADE AMERICA what it is.
    6. If regulators have short sight and do not care about independent
    traders, they should care about themselves and their own job. If
    Capitalism and finance will be affect so bad, Obama and his entrourage
    and executives will go home. And, who's speaking WAS an Obama enthusiast.
    7. I understand banks could SPLIT their trading operations so to not
    affect their balance, liabilities etc. BUT KILL the Market that more get
    closer to perfect competition is an act of perfect stupidity.
    Thanks for the consideration
