    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary,
    I wish to express my grave concern in regards to the CFTC's considerations of changing and limiting the
    U. S retail forex industry and individual traders. The notion of limiting the leverage in the retail forex
    market from 100:1 to 10:1 is, in my opinion, lunacy instead of lucrative for U.S. investors and our
    overall economic strength. I am referring to RIN 3038-AC61. Please reconsider any changes in light of
    these facts:
    * The proposed regulatory restrictions would change the leverages from 1% to 10% and therefore
    * Change margin requirements ten-fold.
    Therefore, I soundly and firmly object to this reduction in leverage becoming the law of the land.
    Thank you for your re-consideration, honestly. Please do not cave and succumb to any pressure to
    legalize such punitive measures.
    Sincerely,
    J Anthony Shuff
