    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Sir,
    Once again heavy handed government regulation pushes the small guy out
    of business. With the change in margin requirements to 10:1 from the
    current 100:1, only the big boys will be able to trade the Forex. Let
    me remind you that it wasn't the little guy, but the big boys that got
    this country into the financial mess that we find ourselves. The
    current 100:1 margin hasn't caused any problems and, as they say, if
    it isn't broken, don't fix it.
    I'm also going to be letting my congressman know of my opposition to
    this proposed change. Let me repeat, we don't need it and it is a
    blatant attempt to shut out the little guy.
