I don't know if many of you notice this, but a lot of people who simply don't understand trading or derivatives seem hell bent on taking away our right to trade, just like the current proposed UK ban. They are cheering on the regulators to ban everything. They think any leverage is gambling. How do you feel realizing these people want to take your livelihood away?
We cant take that away from the government if they want to ban gambling in their country but it will just open an oppurtunity to those who wants to run illegal gambling in their country or just go under ground. I would rather go for regulation than total ban.
