To Whom This May Concern,
I have been investing for many years and manage my own retirement planning. I would like to be able to choose what investments I make. The government should not be trying to protect me from my own choices. Everyone should be able to participate in investing as they see fit and to their own risk tolerance level. I do not object to educational info on riskier investments, but the ultimate decision should be mine.

People who demonstrate intelligence should be allowed to choose investments that are right for them, regardless of net worth.

I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds.

It does not make sense to restrict these even more than options which have even greater leverage and higher chance of loss.

Give me crypto or give me death!

are you serious? What difference does it make to ANYONE what I choose to invest in? STOP with the over-regulation. Let individuals choose to invest or not and let individuals reap the benefits or consequences of their decisions.

USA is a free country.
Why should somebody decide where I can invest and how much ?

Far too much governments overreaching to control all........ !!! Cease and DECIST!!

investment advisor with decades of experience across the spectrum of investments. As i believe we are now in a bear market, i want the flexibility of protecting my clients assets. In most cases selling positions not a good option as i have large unrealized gains. Not allowing me to use VXX and/or SH is preventing me from protecting their portfolios. I resent bureaucrats thinking they know as much or more than me in acting to hedge/protect portfolios

Is this more government overreach? It seems so. I would think that most investors would consult their broker before engaging such products. Furthermore, people should only be investing money they can afford to lose, correct? Perhaps extra warnings are warranted, but not extra regulations.
