I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. This is the United States and we pride ourselves on our freedoms. Investments should be available to everyone not just the privileged.

Thank you but, I do not need your help.

I do not care for my right to invest as I see fit regulated.

Work instead on ensuring that personal finance is taught as mandatory courses in high schools across the country. That is the root cause of much broader issues.

Inverse funds have kept my investments stable during the current downturn.

Kindly step away!

It is your duty to know your risk when you make an investment. The investor needs to be provided with the benefit of doubt that sufficient due diligence is completed, before the investment is made. Opportunity and risk must go hand in hand. The risk in opening a business is significantly greater than these investments and anyone can open a business with minimal restrictions. A person opening a business may leverage any asset they have or use up all of their credit to initiate the business or keep it afloat.

To FINRA:

I'm a former member of FINRA, previous holder of multiple securities licenses (for over 20 years) and former registered rep and principle. I'm writing to comment and provide feedback on the proposed limitations in this regulatory notice.

I oppose putting limitations on my abillity to buy from this public investment after having done my due diligence. I have educated myself and understand the risks with any investment. Let me choose.
