Proposed Leverage Change. Again.
To Whom It May Concern:
It seems once again someone feels the need to over regulate an industry. Technology has allowed retail
investors (the little guy) to participate in the "old boys'" game and they don't like it. Or maybe the
pressure is coming from the NYSE/AMEX because they fear their volume isn't what it could be, esp.
after a couple of down years.
Whatever the case, little guys like me are getting squeezed out of the chance of making a living doing
what many "insiders" have been privy to for decades - and they don't like it. It's not protection. An
investor should know their own financial limitations and do their own homework to determine how
much they can afford to risk. If they blow their account out, process of elimination. How can you
protect every gambler that goes to Las Vegas with his paycheck? You can't. Set the rules and let
everyone have a fair chance. Otherwise it will revert back to "the rich get richer..."
