    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern:
    I would like to voice my opposition to the proposed regulation limiting US firms to offering their
    customers 10:1 leverage. I do not think this will protect the consumer, it actually will hurt the
    consumer. First it will drive money overseas from customers seeking higher leverage, hurting the
    revenues of US firms while benefiting foreign firms. Second, it will further endanger the US consumer
    who chooses to open an account at an overseas firm that is not as safe of a custodian as a US firm.
    Sincerely,
    Brad Zorb
