    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary,
    I recognizes the importance of regulation that strengthens industry oversight.
    My son was wiped out by One World when they went bankrupt, sending the upper echelon to jail. A
    feel-good action, but didn't help his bank account, Yes, the brokers must be carefully watched and
    controlled.
    However, I am a small time forex investor with limited funds so the imposition of large margins would
    wipe me out of the market. I am aware of the dangers of high risk investments and it should be my
    decision to take the gamble. Actually, all investments are a gamble.
    Squeezing down the leverage for forex players would only result in investors turning to offshore
    brokers not bound to your restrictions and taxes, Would this not result in the complete opposite effect
    that the do-gooders are seeking, protecting the consumer?
    Thank you for your attention,
    Suzyn Posch
