On behalf of myself and private investors, the fact that a governing body would consider restricting investment choices to and from certain individuals is absurd and wholly un American. It is nobodys place but the investor themselves to determine what they put their money into and how they choose to invest. I, along with, I'm certain many other Americans firmly believe that it is not your
Limiting choices for active investors, especially leveraged instruments like options, futures and leveraged ETFs, is quite non American, and a sure fire way to create significant funds outflowing the markets. Allow investors and traders to make their own choices, based on their individual risk tolerance and willingness to diversify as they see fit. Contrary to common belief, leveraged instruments

I believe it is imperative to allow the average investor the same opportunities availed to wealthy ones regarding access to leveraged investments. Of course any investor should educate himself regarding the risks of any investment, but we dont need to be saved from ourselves by government fiat.
I should be allowed to invest my money however I wish. Retail investors are at disadvantages already due to high frequency trading, hedge funds, etc..
