    Dear Sirs,
    I like the idea of reducing the risk to investors. However, it is obvious that you are going about this the
    wrong way. By raising the minimum to $10,000 you have eliminated access by the small investors. It would
    still be risky, but make a lot more sense to reduce the lots to 10 and the margin to 1:10 instead of 1:100 and
    to keep the required balance at $1,000.00! By raising minimum balance higher, it will exclude the common
    man and leave the profit taking to mostly the corporate investors. The primary reason this country as a
    whole is in the doldrums is that corporate investors manipulate profit taking - in all market arenas - and the
    common individual has to pay for those profits. All the while access to a smaller and smaller pie is
    made available to common individual.
    Once the well is sucked dry, people panic! President Jackson eliminated the National Bank due to
    corruption such as this. Corporations were sucking all the profits forcing the common man to pay. Be part of
    the solution to getting this country back on track, not part of the problem! This country will always remain
    strong economically as long as there is a reasonable amount of fairness and prosperity for all. Keep the
    minimum balance the same, changing it, changes opportunity for loss or profit.
    Regards,
    Richard Coleman
