Please do not take away my ability to invest in leveraged ETF and into anything. I'm well aware of what I'm doing and I don't need to be restricted by regulators. There are way too many restrictions on US investors already.

Tying ability to invest to net worth is elitist and exclusionary. It further perpetuates the wealth gap because one could only become wealthy through investments.

I might be okay with mandatory test and knowledge check.

Brokers and individual investors not regulators should be able to choose the investments that are right for their clients or themselves. Public securities should be accessible to all of the public, not just the privileged

I realize Im a little past the deadline for submitting comments, but in the interest of providing as many data points to decision-makers as possible, Id like to share some thoughts.

I have managed my own finances since I graduated from college at 21. After nearly three decades of hard work and sound investment, I retired from the rat race at 50. Surprisingly, I was able to accomplish this goal without receiving financial guidance from Kevin McCarthy or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
