    Regulation of Retail Forex"
    Hello,
    The proposal to limit leveral~e to :10::1 is rel~ulatory overkill and a better solution is to have any retail customer submit a written confirmation
    document statinl~ they have read the CFTC/NFA literature describinl~ the mechanics and risks of forex to the forex broker openinl~ an account.
    Rel~ulation needs to eliminate the unscrupulous brokers and let the people I~row up by takinl~ the necessary risks without criminal interference.
    This rel~ulation will not control but rather supress the level of democratic fiscal activity in a market with so much potential to educate and
    support many citizens of the world.
    It is risk that creates wealth to the extent we all find necessary to live a self-sufficient life.
    Thank you for your time and attention,
    Jeff Roberts
