Comments: My broker already gives proper warning and reviews request to access these types of trades. Retail, new, and small investors are already at a disadvantage in todays market that allows high net worth entities access to trading outside regular market hours and through AI driven trades that give them a leg up when new information is presented to the public. Adding more restrictions or limitations will further drive the wealth gap and will not benefit anyone but those already with the upper hand.

Each individual not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. One shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before being able to invest in public securities. We are all capable of understanding our investments and their risks. We do not need these measures imposed on us.

It is God Himself that gives us the abilities to gain wealth and it is government's role to protect our God-given rights and freedoms.

Again, regulators who do not know me AT ALL want to make serious, critical decisions about my financial needs/wants. WHY??? Please, let me decide what investments are right for me and make sure, continue to keep ALL public leveraged and inverse funds/investments available for everyone. Isn't is a good thing I want to be a secure, self-supporting, productive citizen of society? It benefits me, you, and especially society if I learn about, know, and use public leveraged and inverse funds/investments to secure my financial future.

Keep personal investment choices free from overwrought government regulations. Do not limit individuals from investing their hard earned money as they see fit.

Dear Sir/Madam, I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in cryptocurrency funds or other popular investments deemed to be complex. As an investor, one should understand the risk with any form of investments but have the rights to select all available assets to invest in. Thank you.

I object to adding regulations that will limit my ability to invest in securities of my choice ( or require additional hoops to be passed). I have been using leveraged and inverse securities for many years and this makes no sense.

PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO INVEST ANYTHING WHAT THEY WANT. THIS IS OUR FREE COUNTRY .

"However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks." Like the complex derivatives that the large financial institutions created leading up to the Global Financial Crisis and collapse of the housing bubble? Until you remove the ability of institutional investors to be excessively leveraged with margin and create complex risky derivatives in the financial markets, all of your 'protections' for the individual investor cannot be taken seriously.

To FINRA regulators, I've heard that you are considering to potentially deny me the freedom to choose investments that could help me protect my investments no matter what the market conditions are. The ability to purchase hedges allows me to keep my long-term investments intact and if you decide that I don't have the knowledge or skill to use them then perhaps you'd like to tell me how I should invest? There are a number of warnings and disclaimers already made present to me when purchasing any type of asset class and I know it is my responsibility to manage risk.
