    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Mr. Stawick,
    This is the third time I have sent you my comments about the new 10:1 Leverage change that the CFTC is
    proposing for Retail Forex. I am finding it very odd that neither of my prior comments have yet to be posted on
    your comments page, since I sent the first on January 30 and the 2nd one week later. Do you only post the
    comments you like?? Or, just a sampling of the comments received?? Is it not your responsibility to post ALL
    comments in a timely manner? I am not the only person to have this problem... I personally know at least 25
    others who have sent comments that have not shown up... very disturbing...
    Anyway, add me to the list of people who think this is the most rediculous rule change you could dream up. It
    serves no purpose to benefit the industry or the traders and will do nothing but chase more US traders into overseas
    accounts.
    I do thank you though for this opportunity to comment - something that you SHOULD HAVE DONE prior to the other
    crazy rules you implemented regarding hedging and FIFO. You people really do need to learn how to trade in the
    Forex BEFORE you dream up these crazy, useless, harmfull rules. You need to focus on regulating the vendors of
    this industry with regard to honesty and integrity, and keep your oppinions of how people should trade out of it.
    Leave those decisions to the individual traders. Maybe then we could actually respect your authority over the
    industry - but honestly, your organization has become nothing but a bad joke. You might also try hiring someone
    with Obama's Jobs Bill money who could actually answer the phone, since all I ever get when I call is the answering
    machine - and my messages are NEVER returned.
    Sincerely,
    Mindy Yost
