    Regulation of Retail Forex
    I'm an investor in foreign currency through a U.S. dealer. I am very concerned about the proposed rules from the
    CFTC. The CFTC's recent ruleproposal, which would limit customer trading leverage to 10 to 1, would be a crippling
    blow to the U.S. forex industry. This unsustainable rule would drive U.S. forex dealers, which brings tens of millions
    of dollars into the U.S. banking industry each day, offshore into the hands of foreign competitors. It would
    encourage fraud both at home and abroad as customers seeking to trade retail forex would have no other legitimate
    domestic alternative. As an investor, I would be forced to take my business outside of the United States.
