Regulation of Retail Forex
To Thorn it May Concern and really to David Stawick, Secretary,
I am a small US investor and hold several small accounts for stocks, bonds, and forex (total under
$75k). This e-mail is my way of voicing concern over the proposed leverage regulation, ID number
RIN
:~0:~8-AC6:[, the CFTC proposes. It is unfair to the little investor who wishes to participate in
the forex market. The current environment provides me with an opportunity to invest in currencies
and be on a somewhat equal footing with institutions. Changing leverage will completely disallow
me from participation in the market based on margin and capital requirements. Is that what free
markets are about? If the USA is stilla free country then let citizens exercise their own judgment.
If as a small investor choose to risk his money, then allow him the freedom of choice. Please give
this e-mail consideration.
thank you,
-paul staley - small forex investor
