    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Mr. Stawick,
    I am very much opposed to limiting the leverage in retail forex customer accounts
    from a 100-to-1 to a 10-to-1 ratio. I have moved money from an IRA into a forex
    account, am learning about currencies trading. You better believe I am gonna be
    careful with my trading because I do not want to see my IRA funds diminish like they
    did while I had my money invested in mutual funds in a 401k. However, if your
    regulation takes my leverage away, my few dollars will not go very far. I will probably
    have to move towards another form of growing my IRA investments.
    Is it fair then that only the super rich may partake of this investment opportunity?
    Thanks for listening and acting appropriately for me.
