    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Ref: RIN 3038-AC61.
    Is there not enough joblessness out there? Why would you as governing
    body directly change ruling that would ruin a lot of opportunities for
    so many people hoping to make a change in their career direction and
    thus leaving a job opportunity open for someone els? The downsizing
    of leverage would cause prospects to need ten times the capital
    presently needed to make a decent start in Forex, thus discouraging
    many more. It is hard enough to get successful as it is! And don't
    even think of getting all moral about the loss of funds by these
    people, because you firstly have to close down Vegas before even
    contemplating any so called "protection" measures on the present Forex
    system. NO, leave Forex alone as it is. Yes, maybe keep rediculous
    leverage of 200:1 or even 400:1 at bay, but 100:1 has been working
    perfectly for everyone. It is a standard accepted world wide and
    shrinking it to 10:1 would make the term leverage obsolete, since it
    would leave no real room for the concept of leverage to be utilized!
    To the public that don't know any better, this might even reek of
    minipulation by some big shot company? You sure you're still a free
    standing governing body or are you owned? Snugly tucked into
    somebody's deep pocket? This surely looks like a direct ploy to
    squash out the medium to small investor of Forex?
    This is just a loose thought lying around in town.
    No, this change this time would not be in the best interest of the
    general puplic!
