As an investor I have the authority to choose my own investments, make investment decisions and leverage these tools to protect my investments in a way I see fit. No regulator can speak for me or understand my priorities nor do they know what assets I own or the my strategy to protect my investments or trade in the markets. Regulators deciding what is a complex product is far too vague and it takes away the tools available for me to properly manage, protect and invest my own portfolio. I do not need a test or someone else to tell me how to invest. I strongly oppose any interference or regulation into what has been a long standing tradition of disclosure-based system that allow an individual to have the freedom to decide for themselves. I have been using these tools for many years and don't want or need anyone else to interfere with my ability to trade the way I see fit for my portfolio. Thank you for your time and consideration.
