I oppose the proposed restrictions, they are absurd and onerous to adhere to for investors. In this volatile market where buy and hold is foolish, often the only gains I can get are in the leveraged and inverse funds.
I don't think it's the government's business telling me what investments I can or cannot make or placing impediments in my path to make it more difficult or impossible. As long as the investment issues are above-board, public vehicles, and not fraudulent, scams, or money-laundering fronts, FINRA should butt out. If they are worried that we are endangering our
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. People shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before they can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds.

Dear FIRA regulators, the effort to limit the ability for average Americans to enjoy the fruits of investing in these instruments is yet another example of Government overreach. If anything, the investor of today is more knowledgeable than when I started investing over 30+ years ago. I think the existing limits in place today are sufficient to protect the public. I know that limiting these
Please stop telling small private investors what they can and cant invest in; our money is green like everyone elses and if we want to take the added risk of leveraged investments we should be able to accept that risk and do so. Requiring accredited investor status is particularly egregious as it excludes 90+% of investors. Its 2022, people are more educated about investing than ever and we need
