Blocking the ability of the general public to buy cryptocurrency funds or an other publicly traded stock/share limits my ability to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets. Furthermore, singling out complex products with onerous investing regulations for the investment of securities categorized as 'complex' again limits the general access to the designated security and once again limits me, the person considered the general public, access to these securities.

I trade S&P500 / NASDAQ and I do not need any regulations on what I choose to invest in. These are public investments and should remain as such. I choose to invest in leveraged and inverse funds understanding the risks and benefits. While they don't complete my whole portfolio they play a vital role in my investments. I don't need measures imposed on me, tests, to continue trading in these funds. These measures would make public securities for the privileged but they should remain for the public!

Regulators have no business telling private citizens what they may or may not invest it. That is Soviet-era behavior. It is also a slippery slope. If one sort of investment can be outlawed, then ANY kind of investment can be outlawed.

I oppose to my limitations!

I understand the risks associated with leveraged funds and believe I have a right to choose what investments I am allowed to make, regardless of the proposed restrictions

Sirs, I have been made aware of some potential changes in how I might trade equities. I am a retired physician, with no formal training in finance. However, I have trained myself rigorously in order to successfully trade securities and maintain and grow my investments. I rely on many leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my long term investments and manage risk, to acquire income for cost of living expenses, and to grow my financial base.

Some basic regulations is okay but don't kill innovation [REDACTED]

How about you people stop doing what you want and let us, the people who pay you, to live and earn and be who we want without you stopping us like a grandparent who doesn't see that times have changed. Pathetic. You make simple people like myself want to leave the states we grew up in. And I will be leaving. Like a lot have done before me and many more after. I know you don't care and this probably won't even be read. But we will be gone.

please do not take away tools from small investors that the large scale investors have for themselves.

This is not a case in which investors need to be protected by the government or regulators. Leveraged funds are important in these times of low interest rates to generate income for those who wish it. This is actually the safer alternative in many cases. Requiring a "test" in order to purchase certain securities is unnecessary, difficult to implement, and costly to monitor. A simple warning to investors would suffice.
