    I'm writing this email to voice my opposition to the proposed regulation that would limit leveraging in retail Forex
    customer accounts to 10:1. I appreciate the increased risks that leverage can have on some investors; but, I
    don't believe its the federal government's role to decide for its citizens what level of investment risk is
    appropriate. Rather, I think its the federal government's responsibility to ensure that the risks are clearly
    communicated and understood. Doing more than this is a breach of government authority and will simply drive
    investors to offshore accounts.
    Sincerely,
    Mark Thomas
