    We STRONGLY disagree with the CFTC proposal, leverage restriction across the board to 10 to 1
    |everage.i says: "I am not opposed to regulation nor regulatory agencies. But that regulation needs to be
    fair,
    transparent, and open to public input.
    Otherwise it becomes corrupt and self-serving Sure high
    leverage can get you into trouble if used thoughtlessly. Sure hedging when not done properly turns one
    loss into two. But I believe the cure is EDUCATION, not restricting what people can and cannot do
    with their investment decisions. Guide, don't dominate - government was invented to protect people and
    their property, not to limit their potential."
