Comments: I am well aware of the risks of trading leveraged etfs and have been doing so for many years as a hedge to other investments. I would appreciate if as an investor I am allowed to do what Is most suitable for my portfolio.

Claimens to what is my own

Investors should have the ability to choose what investments to purchase based on their risk tolerance. Im not in favor of the proposed regulations.

I Strong believe in the blackchain technology and i know it still has the neccesary to give me financial freedom

More regulation on something most people don't understand like crypto currency is shameful. Let risk take its course. those who lose can only blame themselves and don't need a shoulder to cry on

To regulate L&I index funds is a grossly misguided decision. If FINRA seeks to protect investors from complex products, they should instead go after options, derivatives, short-selling, and other truly complicated financial practices. L&I funds are traded by average retail investors like me in the same manner that stocks are traded; they are simple to understand and necessary to provide market opportunity.

We should not have to go through special processes that add cost and headaches for the regular public, which does not have hired investors and lawyers to manage everything for them to get richer while restricting the common man. The United States was built on self-responsibility and do not need a nanny to tell me what investments are too risky for me, such as BITO or leveraged investments. Being able to access more corners of the market allows for better diversification and hedging and/or leveraging as needed based on the economy and govt policy impacting the market.

It has to be for the investors to choose how to invest and where to invest

Do not limit investors ability to invest in the crypto market! It's not your right to dictate who can and can't based on their level of sophistication and intelligence in the matter! Stop any legislation that blocks my access to these types of investments.

I am dismayed that this proposed rule is being considered. This could drastically reduce my options to make the investments that I believe are currently available currently. A special process to verify my capability to invest is not necessary. I adequately know how to make appropriate investments including those considered by this proposed regulation. Rather than purchasing digital currency directly, I prefer the method that cryptocurrency funds offer. Thank you.
