    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Mr. Stawick,
    It has come to my attention that the CFTC (RIN3038-AC61) is
    considering limiting
    the amount of leverage from 100:1 to 10:1 This would be a
    terrible mistake
    and would take 98% of all retail customers out of the business
    of trading
    currencies. Not only will it cost jobs but it will make the retail
    currency
    industry go out of the United States to transact their business.
    In a time where the US economy needs all the jobs it can get,
    this would
    be a job killer. I hope that the CFTC will not consider this action
    and will leave the
    retail currency trading at a leverage of at least 100:1
    Best regards, Howard
    Howard Duckworth
