I oppose the proposed restrictions on my right to invest. I have been investing in such investment products for more than 7 years and I fully understand the price fluctuates more at the same time these products have given a lot higher yields than the traditional index funds. I oppose these proposed restrictions.

I, Ronald Foltz object to and oppose your unnecessary and potentially intrusive legislation attempting to regulate, reduce and/or eliminate my ability to choose how, when and where I am able to invest my own money earned and subsequently with taxes removed. Im a blue collar worker (a truck driver). I work hard and a substantial sum of hours for my money. I already devote a fair amount of time to studying potential investments in an attempt to allocate said money into resources available for my investment so as to maximize the potential for a reasonable return.

Please make materials and caveats available to investors instead of restrictive regulations. Knowledge and initiative trump creeping paternalism in government regulatory agencies burdening investors.

I don't believe the regulator body's purpose is to decide in what I should invest. You should have broad standards that investment vehicles should meet but that is about where it ends. Leveraged instruments have unique risks but I use them with respect. You cannot protect every stupid mistake people can make and still have freedom.

Then only politicians will be able to invest as they please. Just like now! ! !

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Furthermore, I do not need regulators to impose restrictive measures. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment stragegies.

Do not want tegulations

Leveraged and inversed funds are a tremendously helpful tool for building wealth in different market conditions. I strongly oppose efforts to limit the availability of these asset types in my investment accounts.

I don't think government has any place in our investments or how we spend our money.
I find the government spends our money in the most WASTEFUL WAYS.
THE WASTE MONEY AS IF IT GROWS ON TREES.
I think we should have some say in how they spend our money because it's obvious the don't know how to handle money.

Rather than imposing arbitrary restrictions or adding more silly click-thrus, how about a focus on making education and training available, giving retail investors and traders the SAME information that institutional investors see. Perhaps the reason retail traders lost money on some of these things is because institutional investors have an artificial advantage created by current rules, and not anything else. There should be a focus on leveling the playing field if you want to focus on anything.
