    commenter_subject: Regulation of Retail Forex

    commenter_comments: Please do not increase the margin requirements on
    retail forex. It will eliminate me from
    participating in the forex market. Since I can't
    trust "professional brokers" with my money I have
    instead spent many years learning how to trade the
    forex market using current events, technical
    indicators & many other tools so I can trade in the
    REtail Forex Market. Professional traders are only
    interested in making money for people who are
    already wealthy (much larger commissions) so the
    only one looking out for me is me. The government
    has destroyed the banking industry so if I put my
    savings in a bank I can get maybe 0.0010% interest.
    That's a big help. The Retail Forex market gives me
    the opportunity to participate without having to
    risk my savings with some Madoff investor who
    doesn't give a damn about me because I only have a
    few hundred or a few thousand dollars for him to
    steal.
    I can only view this proposed change as an
    effort to keep this investment tool available only
    to the wealthy & to keep the average citizen under
    their domain & control.
    Again, I ask please do not increase these
    margin requirements it will only result in lost
    jobs, less money in the system & more resentment
    for a government that is trying very hard to
    bankrupt me. "You" (the government) are making
    retirement very very difficult.
