It sure smells like CFTC is trying to regulate markets by gaming them. They have a bunch of proposals out for limiting OTC trading in commodities and now Forex. Nothing on Credit derivatives, interest rates, or stock futures/options. They want the dollar up, commodities down, stocks up, so the Fed cash flows freely into stocks, creating another bubble OMG! SSDD. A proper reform would start with OTC credit derivatives that blew up, not energy and forex. The govt is telling us - buy IBM and AAPL, not gold and oil. This might backfire, the dollar stuff, just like the shorting ban was partially responsible for October crash <G> usdcrisis.com
