Government should have no role in regulating investment strategies a citizen uses to manage his/her financial wellbeing. Tax regulations are already doing this. Free and open trading environment are essential in creating a fair environment. I am just an average citizen that manage my own IRA and have been trading for over 25 years. The proposed regulation hand cuffs me from effectively manage my finances. Regulations are supposed to prevent fraud and abuse of a system. These proposed regulations do not do this.

I can go to Vegas and bet my mortgage but I can't buy crypto which has beat the stock market and real-estate market since its conception. I dont have to be an accredited investor to know crypto is better than stocks. Yes there are meme coins and [REDACTED] coins yet they still seem to do massive jumps which can help me against the ridiculous inflation of the US Dollar and housing market. My job won't keep up with inflation. The government isn't doing anything to help the citizens of the US against inflation. KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY CRYPTO.

I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in the funds I research and choose participate in.

leave our crypto alone

I use leveraged & inversed funds. I oppose restricts on these.

What makes this country great is freedom! Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to invest your money as you see fit. While I agree that an investor needs to understand the potential risks associated with investing (be that real estate, stocks, bonds, leveraged or inverse funds) the government SHOULD NOT regulate who can take these risks and who cannot. Leave our investing options the way they are. Let us Americans review the characteristics of investing risks, as is currently in place, and do not restrict these investment options from the public.

Leverage etf are terrible products I lost tens of thousands.investing in them. I keep holding on hoping to make the money back so have a position still in them. I wish they never were offered.

Now is not the time to start burdening people with more regulations and taxes when inflation is soaring. Voters are already hurting from higher prices on everything.

FINRA correctly recognizes the rise of retail trading of complex products. However, this is characteristic of financial bubbles and euphorias. The problem is the systemic issues that led to this bubble in the first place (irresponsible monetary policy) - not the retail traders themselves

I should be able to choose the type of investments that are right for me, not the regulators and it should be to available to all, not just the privileged. I am capable of making my own decisions
