Mr Stawick,
I am appalled, dismayed and irate that you are proposing to change the rules in retail Forex trading.
I have been trading in the stock market for almost ten years now, and recently nothing in that market has made
sense to me anymore. The market has become so fraudulent and manipulated.
After the crash in 2008, I began trading in the Forex market as an alternative to the stock market, because I no
longer had any faith at all that the stock market was even remotely legitimate.
Now, after taking much money of mine away (in a crash that we small retail investors did not foresee or
understand...) you want to remove my freedom to trade in the world wide currency markets? I was profitable in
the stock market for several years before the crash., and now I've only just begun to be consistently profitable in
currencies.
I am 54 years old, and for the first time ever, I am looking to move out of the U.S.
This country has changed. I thought we were the land of the free?
You need to protect me from the likes of Goldmans Sachs and various government financial committees (er..
Goldman Sachs and JPM?)... PLEASE do not attempt to protect me from myself. Leave that to me!!
My enemy is not myself but rather, the leaders of this country.., who say they try to do me good. Ha!
Why should fortunes be given via taxpayers to those in charge at Goldman Sachs and other big bankers without
my consent?
And now you propose to forcibly take me out of the game! I am the one who has played fair. I do not deserve
this.
It is sad that someone such as myself is looking to possibly move out of the US since I may have no other
alternative.
Sincerely,
Beth T. Gallegos
