I should be able to choose which investments are right for me. Most people take out mortgages (effectively leveraging their investment), I instead choose to invest in leveraged securities. These are a part of, and not my whole, portfolio. Leverage shouldn't be an option only available for those willing to invest in real estate or to privileged investors.

I cant believe you would attempt to limit my ability to invest in publically traded funds while allowing the continued manipulation of the market by the computer traded algorithimic front end trading which disadvantages the typical person investing and drives the market incessantly in one direction or the other from pure momentum. Why not reinstate some of the old rules such as the uptick rule which limited this severe fluctuation instead of coming after the common investor. I am a degreed engineer retired with many years of business development in my background.

To whom it may concern.

While I am not an investment professional, I an a United
States Citizen. It is my right to spend and invest my money as I see fit, regardless of the outcome.

Since the government began trying to "protect me" by establishing large failed programs such as SSI, My ability to provide for my family and retirement has been severely constrained.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Vote Yes!

We need less regulation, not more.

I should be able to choose the public investment that are right for my family and I. Public investment are available to the public and not for the privileged. No one-stops me from investing my money, and now you are trying to take away my civil rights .

Investing in leveraged and inverse ETF funds is just about the only way to make money in todays volatile market. I have lost 10% of my 401k investing in regular/traditional ETFs. With the way this current woke, hypocritical administration is governing the stock market is going to crash, next will be a housing market crash & a terrible recession. Yet Pelosi and company can continue to invest in the stock market even though they are policy makers that are supposed to be serving our county instead of self-serving. I will get out of the market/this country if this happens.

I would like to be able to choose my own investments. I use leveraged funds for a small portion of my portfolio and these funds should not be limited to a few privileged investors.

We have been warned enough all the time about investing in leveraged and inverse products, there in not any need for additional restrictions, period.
