Its should not be up to scrupulous Washington Bureaucrats to decide what I can and cant invest in. It should be up to to those who purchase and sell public securities. I have done research into every security that I have purchase and have kept prospectuses of each one. I have also read literature regarding investing.

This feels like a way for government to pick and choose which stocks are going to be purchased by the public, and which ones arent. That would make for more insider trading and ruin 401ks, IRAs and personal brokerage accounts for smaller investors like myself.

I don't approve of this as an ameryi have the right to invest as I please.

The federal government needs to get out of our lives. All of the parental stuff has to stop. Please do not let the regulators go this far. STOP LIMITING MY RIGHTS INCLUDING MY RIGHT TO INVEST AS I SEE FIT.

As an experienced and knowledgeable individual investor, I strongly oppose any restrictions for the adult investors to invest in public investments including but not limited to stock options, leverage and inverse fund. The adult investors themselves instead of FINRA or another people shall select and decide the type of the public investments to the best of their interest and investment goals. Sincerely, Wan-Chuan Yin, Schwab account holder [REDACTED] 

As an MBA, I understand the importance of investment and knowledge of investment. Regulation of retail investment is not appropriate. As a business professional with financial knowledge - these rule changes have will have little to no impact on me. Others, however will be harmed by them.

As a free market society - we should have more freedom in what we are allowed to do with our money vs less freedom. Financial freedom should be attainable by all, not only select individuals.

Hello,
My name is Christopher Francis Lewis Patterson. I am an non-traditional, first generation undergraduate Business Information Systems Major communicating to you in the midst of finals at CSUDH Dominguez Hills in Carson, California. There’s a lot of other details about me that you may find interesting relating to my upcoming dialogue, but that’s not what this comment is about.

Ladies and gentlemen, I urge you to not amend the rules regarding complex investment products like leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am an individual retail investor for whom these products are a necessary tool to manage risk in my portfolio. Many investors use them to hedge.
There exists many safeguards to prevent rampant speculation, and the rules in place as well as the efforts of retail broker dealers are working.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss my personal situation and opinion regarding this proposed rule change.

Hands off my choice to invest in public investments! Individuals absolutely have the right to decide which public investments we should have in our portfolios. Slowly but surely government overreach is destroying the rights of working Americans to freely live, work, invest and save for their futures. Prior generations invested as they saw best, and my husband and I and other working Americans should have the ability to do the same.

Stay out of my investment options Leave leverages funds alone so we can invest in them

Regulators should not be able to choose or dictate how much, we invest, save or spend our money .
