PROPOSED RULE CHANGES
This idea is awful. It does the average investor like myself no good whatsoever. You are punishing an
idustry that does not deserve to be punished, and not really protecting the investor at all.
It's my choice as to how much I want to risk for investment purposes. You will see investors leave the
forex markets in droves if the levearage rule change goes through. Me being one of them. I will take
my businiess to a European broker, or I will leave Forex and trade stocks, futures, options, ett~s, emini's.
Whatever instrument I choose, but it won't be Forex.
Don't ruin a good thing by chaning the rules.
Regards,
Joel Jacobson
Forex (and hopefully will still be) Investor
