    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern,
    I am writing in response to the recent proposal regarding changing the forex leverage from
    100:1 to 10:1. Let it be known that I am strongly opposed to this ludacrist proposal. If the goal of
    this proposal is to limit liability and fraud issues, then I cannot help but feel ashamed and
    embarrassed for those responsible. Risking so many negative (and even life altering) outcomes
    over issues that can be resolved with more effective legal contracts and other preventative
    measures sounds like nothing more than an easy way of dealing with fear of liability.
    Those behind this proposal should ask themselves: Are we prepared to force so many to quit
    trading the forex because thier profits are too low? Even if thier financial security and retirement
    plans depend on it? Would we risk having so many brokerage firms go out of business and be
    forced to lay-off employees during an already troubled economic time?
