    Regulation of retail Forex
    Mr. Stawick-
    The proposal for a 1011 margin-if implemented-will have a serious negative effect on your ability to regulate forex business in the US.
    Most if not all retail forex business would go overseas to European markets -thus making it impossible for US regulators to oversee.
    This has to be rather obvious.
    Thanks for your time,
    Kevin J. Gavin
