I absolutely oppose this attempt to put controls on investments. As a retiree with little money I need to be able to invest to get the most return on my investments

To whom it may concern:

While I believe your intentions are to protect people from making unwise - or not understood - investments where they lose more than that can afford, I don't agree with it. I believe people should be able to choose the public investments they believe are right for them and their families. Public investments should be available to the public. Requiring special processes not only block access to these investment types, but also cost money enforcing them that could be spent on better things.

This is America, land of the FREE, home of the brave!!! Dont tread on me you bureaucrats! Shove your regulations where the sun doesnt shine.

Me, not regulators should be able to choose my own investments that are right for me and my family. Never should anyone have to go through a special process in order to invest in public securities. I am capable on my own of discerning the risks. Leverage and inverse funds are an important way to enhance investment strategies and I want them to remain available. Please do not make changes to how these products are offered that will limit peoples ability to invest in them.

You 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.

When it comes to where I place my money for investing, it should be my choice. Not that of some unknown regulator who may be getting kick-backs for pushing specific investments.

There should not be any red tape that I must go through before being able to invest. This should be regardless of if I seek advice of a financial advisor or not. It is my money and my future and my decisions.

Unless the regulator can make sure my money increases, which I or a finacial advisor, can not do then let me decide what to do and if I seek assisstance in making decisions.

Dear Regulator: Leveraged and inverse funds are important hedges for me. Thanks to them my capital reached nearly its highest point in ten years. I've learned how to use them, and I know what I'm doing, so please leave my investments alone. Thank you. By the way it sounds like you know what is coming and when and are preparing for it. Please share your information. Thanks.

Py Capital gains tax already... [REDACTED]

I certainly agree that only the brilliant elites should have access to these investments. Us peons are simply way too stupid to know what is best for us. When you're done with this regulation would you please come to my house [REDACTED].

Regulators need to leave my personal investments alone
