    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern
    Your announcement on January 13, 2010 that you are seeking public comment on the proposed regulations:
    "leverage in retail forex customer accounts would be subject to a 10-to-1 limitation" would be, in my opinion, a
    colossal error.
    The reason I believe that this would be such a grave mistake is that Forex traders will leave in droves to foreign
    brokers if they want to continue to trade. I believe also that domestic brokers will lose a substantial amount of
    their business, thus their tax revenue. I cannot for the life of me understand why the US Government continues to
    stifle domestic Forex brokers and send business to our overseas competitors with their knee jerk decisions.
    I do know that I will be moving all my accounts overseas to a foreign broker if this regulation does take place.
    Sincerely,
