    Regulation of Retail Forex, Just Don't Do It
    RE: RIN 3038-AC61
    Raising the margin requirements on retail FOREX accounts will most
    likely greatly reduce access to these markets, if not destroy this
    industry in the USA entirely. As a relatively new participant in this
    market I have diligently been studying and working to build a business.
    The proposed regulation could very well prevent my further success, if
    not prevent pursuing this business entirely, and deprive others of the
    great opportunity these markets provide. Given the economic climate of
    the past two years it is startling that government would take an action
    to limit trade, and drive customers to foreign entities where US
    citizens would be less protected than we are now. The margin
    requirements should be left to the market participants as both the
    traders and brokers are taking the risks, and are well aware of them.
    So please do not take this action.
    E. Albright
