Crypto currency funds such as BITO is important to me to diversify my portfolio. It is also safer to buy BITO than buying Bitcoin directly.

Citizens must be allowed to invest in any form of Investment that they want. Citizens must be able to determine if they can afford to lose or gain on investments. The government is essentially a partner in the form of taxes levied. If there are any gains, it is a win win situation for the government to not get in the way of this relative new form of investing. I haven't lost any money in crypto thus far and treat is as a stock averaging down to keep profits up! Thank you in advance for your concern for us citizens of the Great USA!

Dear FINRA regulators: I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest. 1. If I chose a complex fund to invest into, it means I understand the risk and benefit of it after having done my research; otherwise, I would go with a standard investment retirement package. I can take care of my money by choosing where to invest without government oversight. 2. I should not be required to go through any special schooling or testing in order to be given a green light to invest into my or my familys personal future. If I invest into something, it presupposes I did my research.

For many years I have been investing in leveraged and inverse funds for many years. Throughout this time I have never considered such funds to be "the way to easy money". I have been cognizant of the risks involved and have been properly informed by my broker (Fidelity Investments) regarding the special characteristics of leveraged and inverse investing. I have never received information from Fidelity, nor from leveraged providers, e.g.

We believe in free markets and grown people does not have to be babysit. As an investor if I loose money or gain is only my responsibility and I understand that. Trading with leverage products is like any other bet in life, more risk more possible rewards. I just try to keep my allocation small. I think rather than limiting, you guys should focus on making sure anyone read and sign waivers of the risk of such products and if one decides to proceed is at your own risk but limiting is not the answer.

I do not want your regulations to interfere with my right to purchase cryptocurrency. It is my right to spend my money on investments that work for me and my family. Stay off this one!

I believe it is unfair to individuals that their choices can be limited on certain investments. These reduced opportunities will hurt more people then it will help.

Hi, I'm writing to express my opposition to regulations or restrictions that prevent or encumber my ability to invest in public investments. I feel that it should be my right to invest in securities/funds that include new, upcoming, and/or non-traditional commodities (e.g. cryptocurrencies). It should be the investors right to diversify and consider all available options when implementing a financial strategy, and it should be up to investors to educate themselves and make informed decisions. Regards, Nick

The United States of America is supposed to be the land of opportunity. By restricting what people can invest in is taking away the opportunities that Americans have. It additionally allows the rich to get richer but not allow those of a lower net worth to participate in the same investments. Please put a stop to restricting funds, like BITO.
