The proposed restrictions will adversely impact my ability to make informed investment decisions for me and my family and further disadvantage smaller investors such as myself against large high net worth investors. These proposed regulations will further exasperate income inequality and are not good for the US economy. I kindly ask that these measures are carefully reconsidered with the small investor in mind. Thank you.

An individual should have the right to invest in anything he chooses without government interference.

Hello- I really want to keep the ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds as these are very good tools to hedge an overall portofolio,especially in these volatile times. Please keep our ability to continue to trade these tools and give the smaller investors these crucial trading rights.

Enough with the restrictions, I should be able to choose which segments I wish to invest in. Data is todays new form of currency and Crypto related segments are 1) tech driven, 2) tied to trove of data 3) at a min a Fund like BITO is managed so the diversification is built in even though its a speculative emerging market.

If you start limiting these things then why let investors invest with public companies tied to national defense protection act or allow government officials to invest in segments they can manipulate. Seems contradictory

Please concentrate your efforts on dark pools and regulating citadel and ken griffin from using algorithms that trade against small investors. Pay for order flow should be made illegal.

I oppose these regulations. I have been contributing to my 401K/403B for over 30 years and the government should not have a say in what my investments are. I worked hard to save that money. You don't see my hands in their pockets. Keep them out of mine!!!

To whom it may concern,
I decide how I want to invest my money. I do not want a bureaucrat deciding for me. I've been a stock investor for 50 years and I trade the inverse and leveraged ETF's as a hedge on my portfolio. I understand how the are priced. I really do not need FINRA telling me to take some kind of test.

I do not want "Regulators controlling my stock market purchases or selling of stocks! PERIOD!!!!!!

If the market is in fact a free market then this rule proposal would never have been proposed. A free market isn't just for the rich who can afford it. The choice to participate in the market is an individual choice that each person must make for themselves, that should not include taking a test before investing in public securities. Furthermore this will create further speculation that the market is not in fact free but actually corrupted and controlled by the rich. Each person should do their own research and understand their personal risk tolerance for themselves.

I like and understand leverages ETFs please do not restricting trading of them
