In a country that advocate equality for all, i would like to have the ability to choose what financial investment are right for me and my family.

Leveraged and inverse funds have been an important part of my portfolio for years providing me with good returns as well as a hedge. Please allow them to remain a part of my investment strategy without any limitations or restrictions.

It significantly limits our investment opportunities.

No one has a problem with investing in Amazon of Nvidia or Facebook at their high points only to watch them lose 25% of their value in a matter of weeks if not days. But yet you want to "protect me" from a leveraged or inverse fund. Best case scenario is you do nothing and let me be responsible for me. At worst is a one time information screen that I agree that I am trading in a speculative market. It just seems anything other than that gives privilege to a select few. Thank You

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!
