We are 95 years old living on a small pension We worked two jobs all our Ives to save money for our retirement. We are good working citizens. OunSs is very low as y husband was a fireman. When he started the job they didnt give firemen Ss. So we are depending on his small pension. We need our retirement Monet to buy food gas and rent. Please dont touch our retirement money. We will have to go on welfare if you do

I think if it's our money we should be able to invest it anyway we want to. Just like any other investment in stocks there's always a risk but that is our choice to do so.

This proposed rule restricting my right to invest as I please seems a clear violation of my right to control and administer my own resources. I try to diversify my investments, for my holdings as a retiree are quite meager and I cannot afford to take big risks. At present I own only one fund involved partially in cryptocurrencies, and regard it as just a normal part of my portfolio. Why would you take away my ability to handle my own investments? Passing a test in order to invest seems to me a horrible precedent.

The freedom to invest can secure me a stable retirement future. Going through all those regulations is very complicated as a retail investor

Everyone deserves the right to invest. Properly educate your investors for a better future for our children.

I want to have the opportunity to invest in anything I want.

The FINRA is overstepping its authority by not allowing the average/retail investor to make their own decisions and take their own risks. Investing is risk taking by nature and its not fair for the average investor to be forced into buying only one type of investment (i.e. Long).

I and not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Dear FINRA,

Free to chose thats America way
