An attack on the working class
Keep the lying politicians out of our investments! Let us make our OWN decisions! Maybe these same [REDACTED] who are trying to take away our ability to invest for our future should let us, the people see what they have done to make themselves rich from insider trading! Let's look into this before they start looking into the people that they are supposed to represent!
Please stop trying to control our money
Dear Financial Regulators,
Please put these products behind reasonable knowledge or acknowledgment-of-risk walls rather than wealth walls where only potentially unknowledgeable wealthy & only already-wealthy investors can capitalize on the opportunities unlocked by these products.
It hurts investors.Is arbitrary and unworkable. It upends the regulatory system. I oppose any limitations in my investments.
I wish to retain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choice.
Comments: All investing involves risk. Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, ETFs, Commodities, Currencies. Imposing sanctions, regulations on a specific sector or industry that market "complex products" is arbitrary, biased and prejudiced when not imposing the same sanctions, regulations on other risk assets as Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, ETFs, commodities, etc. Those who market these "complex Products" have done their part in providing notice of the risks involved conspicuously displayed on their websites.
I want to write in and let whoever is considering this rule change to know that as a retail investor I am fully aware of the risks that I take by investing in securities.
Please do not eliminate leveraged ETF products. I have made good money investing in them.
I am writing as a free American who works hard for his money and is able to make his own decisions on what to with his money. I am very capable of doing my own research and to think on my own. I do not in any way need you protecting me from my self my actions are mine to own good or bad. If no one failed we wouldn't know success. Please allow us to think and invest how we please. When I think of a free America it does not include restrictions to make the game harder for some. The rules should be the same for everyone.
