I am a self-educated individual investor of more than two decades who now invests with several institutions. While recognizing the required knowledge of sophisticated, leveraged investments, it seems somewhat punitive to limit or possibly deny access to the educated to protect the uneducated.

I oppose to restrictions to my right to invest.

I want the freedom to choose.

More regulations are NOT necessary. Retail investors should be able to freely choose what to invest in. Demanding us to pass tests or going through other special processes is annoying. Restrictions on retail customer access to complex products are even worse - they are unreasonable and unfair. As a leveraged fund investor, I always read through the information and assess risks before making an investment. I would be happy if more information/education about complex products are available. But I don't need regulators to impose more measures on me or limit my investment choices.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest!!!1!

We do not stand for your regulations who do you think you are

The government already has too many hands in our pockets. In these troubling times, even when not so troubled, removing hope from the people is a bad idea.

I should have the right to purchase crypto currencies without the government attacking my Crypto funds.

This is down right commie move. What [REDACTED] do you think you are doing?

This is ridiculous.

In the finance world, first I found the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule is ridiculous. If this is risky: when you don't have money (< $25,000), you cannot do it; when you have more money (> $25,000), you can lose them more quickly. It means you have a higher trial and error cost.

Now, the new rule is even more ridiculous, similar to PDT. People need to try and learn.

Having more money does not mean having more knowledge and expertise in the financial world!!

No one was there to lend us the money to invest or buy crypto. Why should they be allowed to take any of it away?
