Dear Mr. Stawick,
The proposal to limit leverage to 10:1 is regulatory overkill and a better solution is to have any
retail customer submit a written confirmation document stating they have read the CFTC/NFA
literature describing the mechanics and risks of forex to the forex broker opening an account.
Regulation needs to eliminate the unscrupulous brokers and let the people grow up by taking
the necessary risks without criminal interference.
This regulation will not control but rather supress the level of democratic fiscal activity in a
market with so much potential to educate and support many citizens of the world.
It is risk that creates wealth to the extent we all find necessary to live a self-sufficient life.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Feliks Goltsman
