As someone who regularly and frequently invests in publicly traded securities it is my view that the federal government and its agencies do not have the right to tell individual investors what we can and cannot invest our money in. How or when I invest my assets is my decision and should not be limited by anyone. Federal regulators cannot know or understand the individual investors risk tolerance or financial conditions better than the individual investor. Comon advice regarding investing has long been to do your own research and know what you're investing in.

It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

I should be able to choose which investments I want to make.
I shouldnt have to take any special tests or ask for approval form a broker.

While I agree that some of these funds should be limited to qualified investors, restricting all of these will limit my ability as a middle-class investor to grow my wealth through the stock market. Either lower the bar for qualification to participate in these funds so the growing group of new retail investor can reap the rewards of these funds OR do not restrict them in the first place - it will only continue to worsen the wealth gap in the US.

TO whom it may concern,
This regulation is hurting the basic rights for the individual investors.
We have the right to invest in funds that we want without going through any special process to invest in leveraged funds. The risk is shared before making actions and this is important to my long term investment strategies.
Thank you for your consideration
