Hello, I just want to make my voice heard that retail investors should have the ability to invest in securities of their choosing. The stock market is a free market to all and it stay that way.

I DENIED RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

As an experienced investor I have learned that ANY investment in the stock market has risks and some have higher risks. IT would not be fair to take these type of investments away from us. I think companies advertise enough about their risks they pose to investors. If you can't read up on your investment and understand what you are investing in and the risks then you probably should not be investing by yourself.

I strongly oppose additional regulations on my freedom to invest in products I find suitable to my financial plans. As products that are offered to to public already have to meet many standards and regulations, adding additional restrictions limit my freedoms of choice. With increasing market volatility, investment choices should be expanded, NOT restricted. Do not approve additional restrictions on individual choice for investment options.

Thank you.

I am an investor in various "complex" ETFs. I have selected them to protect my portfolio after careful research. I am also satisfied that my broker alerts me to risker securities. If securities are listed on exchanges, by the SEC, I would assume that they have properly vetted these for use by investors, and not only a certain class of privileged investors.

I oppose restrictions to the right to invest.

People – not regulators – should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Otherwise it is unfair to retail investors.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. For example, SH, the inverse fund of S&P 500, can be a great tool to hedge the risk of S&P 500.

Again, I strongly oppose restrictions to the right to invest!

It is important that traders and investors alike are allowed to trade funds without restrictions as we have been. We all take it upon ourselves to invest our resources and shouldn't have to pass any new imposing new rules to do so.
Any rules should be made at the beginning and not after a fund is already trading.

I do not want to be limited to using leveraged funds. I oppose the proposed changes.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. It's my money, I know the risk of stock market. Please, please keep everyone's freedom of choices.

I oppose restrictions on limitation or restrictions to buy stocks to stock holders.
