I oppose the proposed rule which restricts my rights to invest in instruments or funds to build various investment strategies. The restrictions only benefit institutions and high net worth who has access to (almost) unlimited investment strategies while we suffer the rising CPI due to the ongoing inflation. This rule will also enhance the investment literacy and knowledge gaps between the rich and the average/poor.

As a long time investor to have this change impact how and what I can invest in is outrageous. These are public investments that I should have the freedom to invest in and not be asked to justify with income or asset levels.

I have the ability to make my own sound investments and do not need regulators to say otherwise. Additionally, I don't need to take a test or read documents to understand the risks I take when making investments in leveraged or inverse funds. These inverse and leveraged investments are an important part of my investment strategy to hedge against market volatility to the downside so that I can seek other ways for returns. Please do not impose additional measures to be able to manage my own investments as this will make it more difficult to make any gainful return on my investments.

I would like to have freedom to invest in complex fund like BITO which gives me exposure to future technology also at the same time I would like to have access to invest in leveraged ETF as it gives a big boost to my IRA account during high volatility market.

Dear sir/Madam, 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.

Please reconsider these restrictions. Public investments should be available to all, and I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my future goals!

Me and only me should decide what or what I can not buy for me and my family. I should not have to take classes or jump through any hoops to be able to do so.This is a free country and people should be able to purchase any stock they wish and should not only for the privileged. They had to start somewhere to get where they are and everyone should be given that choice

This is a horrible idea. I can choose my own investments. Let me decide my own risk for my own investments. This is severe overreach. Do not do it.

I need to be freely invest my money at my own decision/risk. Do not ever attempt to intrude my freedom.

We live in a free country and should be able to continue making public investments as what is good for me. I am retired and should be able to make investments as I choose. It is my money not the governments money and not for legislators to decide for me.
