    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    I'm writing this email to voice my opposition to the proposed regulation of leverage in retail Forex
    customer accounts limiting leverage to 10:1. I appreciate the impact that leverage can have on some
    investors; but, not all investors are created equal. Some can handle greater risks while other's can't. I
    don't believe its the federal government's role to decide for its citizens what level of risk they can
    tolerate. Rather, I think its the federal government's responsibility to ensure that the risks are clearly
    communicated and understood. Doing more than this is a breach of government authority and will
    simply drive investors to offshore accounts.
    Sincerely,
    William Wilber
