This proposal is is limiting to the individual investors. Not allowing investors to access derivatives of the market does not allow for a fair playing field. Investors must be made aware of risks and accept them. Having a level playing field with large investors, real money investors, hedge funds and others allows people to hedge their investments like larger investors. Being able to protect money on the downside and participate on the upside only allows investors a way to mitigate risk. This is another proposal that will make the playing field more lopsided to institutional investors.

Our savings in the form of 401k's and so forth gave been severely impacted by federal govt policies. Social security is being placed on the chopping block by Congress. We face unprecedented inflation and federal deficits. It is vital to the economic survival of working and middle class people that their investment options not be arbitrarily and unfairly restricted by an overreaching, misguided and socialist federal govt that is unconcerned about the economic hardships being faced by millions of Americans largely as a result of poor and out of touch federal policies.

Options and other potentially complex investments represent one of the only ways that those without means may change their lives. Blocking everyday people from such channels is tantamount to constraining them to lives of poverty and lack. Why should only well-off people, often those who were merely lucky enough to 'win the birth lottery', be allowed to better their lives? Why should everyday folks be burdened with more risks and less opportunities to hedge than those who can afford to lose the most? How does that advance your mandate?

Cryptocurrency and crypto currency funds should not be limited to qualified investors. It is the duty of all investors to understand the what they are investing in and the risks involved. Closing off retail investors from an entire class of assets would be a disservice and over reach. As this sector of the economy grows and evolves it is on all of those investing to research and understand what they are choosing to invest their money in. Many believe this will grow to be an important asset class and portion of a well balanced portfolio.
