I do not need regulators telling me how to invest my funds nor take a test to prove to them I know what I am doing.

This is America, I earned it, I control it and I invest it the way I see fit.

We are not in Russia. Do not regulate us to death.

A Democrat.

I oppose limitations on your ability to buy the funds

It simply doesn't concern regulators. What are they regulating? Interests they have no interest in? Where we store our value of production shouldn't be up to a regulators judgement. Their judgement and authority is over fiat currency. Once fiat currency is exchanged for a different interest, it is out of their protocols. You are welcome to participate in our interests, yet you are not recognized as one in our governing authority.

I oppose restrictions FINRA wants to impose on public investors. Leveraged & inverse funds are an important part of my portfolio. Having to meet certain criteria to invest in inverse funds restricts my ability to enhance my overall return. Public investments should be available to all, not just a few.

Do not make the USA any more of an oligarchy than it already is. The social contract is in tatters; do not make it worse.

I want the right to make my own investment decisions.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please oppose any restrictions upon my right to invest as I determine are in my best interest. I am in a better position to decide what investments are right for my family than any regulator. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investment strategy and should be available to all people. This country has thrived among many nations because of the freedoms inherent to its people. Do not restrict the freedom for which so many Americans have fought and died.

I have been very successful investing and trading with complex instruments and I have no formal investment training. Imposing restrictions on my ability to invest in these vehicles and making them only available to a select group of investors will harm me and many others that invest. The addition of pre-investment testing, certifications, training, or cooling-off periods are a deeply unnecessary restriction on the small investor. I have built a successful trading strategy around leveraged investments and restrictions like this will cause me financial harm.

I oppose segregation and classism. Proposals to restrict trading for some citizens and not others is a horribly discriminatory and should not be enforced. I oppose regulations that would restrict the average investor from using products such as ETFs. especially if they are restricted to use by the wealthy only. IMO that would perpetuate class division.

it is unnecessary and a clear attempt to drive up costs for the investors by increasing dependence on paid financial consultants - you exist to serve the investors NOT those selling services. Please work at reducing regulatory burdens on investors and concentrate on keeping financial consultants and corporate Board members working for the investors and staying true to their fiduciary duties.
