    Regulation of Retail Forex - RIN 3038-AC61
    Hello,
    I wanted to let you know that I disagree with your proposal to limit leverage to 10 to 1. I feel I can manage my own
    risk.
    I am not opposed to regulation nor regulatory agencies. But that regulation needs to be fair, transparent, and
    open to public input, otherwise it becomes corrupt and self-serving. High leverage can get you into trouble if
    used thoughtlessly. Hedging when not done properly turns one loss into two. But I believe the cure is
    EDUCATION, not restricting what people can and cannot do with their investment decisions. Guide, don't
    dominate - government was invented to protect people and their property, not to limit their potential.
    Why does government want to limit my freedoms? from a government that supposedly supports freedom of
    speech, It somehow seems contradictory.
    Please refrain from restricting my liberties.
    Neil J. Coisman
