It's important for every citizen to have the right to purchase whatever stock we want. We need to retain the freedom to do this. Why take away our freedom. I don't need to take a test to be able to make informed decisions on stock purchases and I don't need anyone else making my decisions for me.

I Oppose Restrictions to My Right to Investments! Me- not regulators-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.

Investing in leveraged and inverse funds should be available to anyone regardless of net worth, special approvals, "cooling off" periods, or broker approvals - however, I am in favor of people having to sign off on disclosures to ensure investors are aware of the greater risk some of these assets pose.

Keep your government grubby hands off the money of the people of the United States. You were appointed to your position by the people and you work for us not the other way around. Just remember that we put you in your position and we can take you out of it just as easily by what ever means necessary. Think on that for awhile.

To whom it may concern,

Please hear my conviction that restricting the rights of investors to invest in complex products is unjust and unequitable. The proposal is fundamentally flawed.

The role of financial oversight is to FACILITATE investment, not RESTRICT it.

In addition, Each investor should be free to pursue financial security according to their own best judgment, not as dictated arbitrarily by others who enjoy privileged access.

People should be able to decide for themselves what investments are appropriate for their situation and NOT some regulatory body.

Please allow investors to be unrestricted in the amount of money that wish to invest. Allow people to become wealthy.
Thank you

I fully expect FINRA to act against the best interest of the retail investor. FINRA has proven time and again that regulations are designed to protect the corporate, "sophisticated" investor rather than the everyday "retail" investor.

I have the right to invest the same as anyone else. Why do you not put the same restrictions on people playing the lottery as you do those who invest? Playing the lottery is a sure fire way for 99.99 percent of the people to lose their money and yet that is supported in almost every state. Do not restrict investment into real assets for the rich and privileged class. We all have the right to improve our financial station in life!

Hey, don't take the rights away from retail investors that will remain with accredited investors. We deserve to be able to invest in leveraged ETFs and crypto funds without restrictions like a test, Do not impose this restriction on the retail investment community.
