To decide what is right for me and restrict MY access to products like leveraged an inverse funds while allowing wealthy individuals to use these same tactics is just wrong.

As an investor who has made use of inverse funds, including leveraged funds, over a period of approximately 20 years, I strongly oppose the restrictions and regulation described in this rule with respect to such funds.

I am a 76 year old retired teacher/mathematician/programmer. I have enough fixed income to retire comfortably. But I have lots of savings that can not earn a reasonable income in the current market and low interest rates. Over my
For decades, Americans of all incomes have looked to the investment markets as an opportunity to build wealth and achieve goals such as putting their kids through college and retiring among other things.

You need to put a stop to the market manipulation, specifically on AMC. The last two days there has been more inflow than outflow and yet the price has dropped. 60% of all transactions happen on the dark pools. This is unfair to retail investors. Plus all the additional limitations we have and it seems that no governing entities have our best interest in mind. Seems they are always looking out
