    Forex Changes - THANK YOU.
    I applaud your efforts to
    finally bring regulation to an unstable market. My marketing company has been approached by many self proclaimed experts in the Forex market. These
    "gurus" are selling forex trading platforms that supposedly make the market easier to understand and trade. These gurus are making hundreds of
    thousands dollars and in some cases millions of dollars by selling programs that do not work. Whether we are talking about robots that
    supposedly automate the entire process or broker accounts that make it possible for people to deposit their life long earnings into an account
    that "seasoned traders" invest on their behalf, the end result is almost always the same; the person investing the money loses. Let me go on the record
    as saying that until your office begins to regulate the forex market by first reducing the leverage, more and more hard working Americans will continue to
    lose their earnings to criminals operating under the guise of a "guru".
    I implore you to make these changes sooner then later.
    Thank you
