Its my money. Let me invest how I want

This poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people up in their house because of a 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 and finally, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

These fund should be available to everyone not just the privileged view. Regular investors are able to understand the risks of investing in leveraged funds.

Comments: I am so angry that I am beside myself! So let me get this straight. My Federal Government over stimulated the US Economy to buy votes with poor folks and is determined to double down with "Build Back Better" but they do not want me to say NO! or sell SHORT! In that they are wrong, and I could make a lot of money on their stupidity. Credentials: 1. Florida State University Graduate - 3.5 Avg 2. US Infantry Officer Vietnam 1968-69. Decorated. 3.

Comments:
I truly believe there is a place in ones portfolio for leveraged and inverse funds. In fact, if used correctly, the can minimize the risk in a portfolio. I've used inverse funds as a short term hedge during the Covid crash of 2021 and during the recent market correction. By investing 10-20% of my portfolio in these inverse funds, I was able to reduce volatility and manage risk.

Comments: This is thievery. In a free market, everyone should be able to make and lose money however they want. I oppose any restrictions to what retail investors can do. Restrictions should in fact be lowered so that "accredited" investors do not exist at all. Ways to make money should not be artificially restricted behind already having money.

This is ridiculous, there are already disclosures and warnings most, if not all, brokerages make available to customers prior to accepting leveraged trades. Quit wasting tax payer dollars on this type of garbage. If anything, have investors take a free online education course on leveraged funds. Your [REDACTED] proposal discriminates against the poor and has no consideration for their financial knowledge. If we are poor, do we not have less to lose? Go back to regulating penny stocks and actually financial crimes.

My risks is my business!

Hello, I believe the proposed regulations would greatly and unnecessarily restrict investors, all investors, from exercising their right to freely participate in funds, inverse funds, etc.
