I firmly believe in my right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions and oppose any and all limitations on my investments.
Comments: I oppose any further rule-making to limit access to so-called "complex products" (e.g. leveraged / inverse funds or ETFs). There are already plenty of warnings provided regarding the risky nature of these products. At my broker's website, for example, I receive a notification every time I attempt to purchase these products indicating their risky nature and
Crypto was designed to be "For the People" the government needs to stay out of it. Maybe instead of sending all our $ to Ukraine, you spend that $ directly on Americans.
I do not need any governing body deciding for me how to invest. There didn't seem to be any concern over how retail investors spent their money in the stock market until January of 2021.

I am a retail and self-directed investor mainly trading and investing in US listed leverage & inverse ETFs and associated exchange traded options.

Stolp all there stupid regulations. If people have funds they want to invest, the government should not be allowed to tell someone how/or how not to invest their funds.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
I should be able to choose what I invest in for my family, not by regulators overstepping telling me what I can do with my money.
I should not have to go through any special tests before investing in securities.
I should be able to diversify my portfolio with the investments that best fit my plan, not regulators plans.
Having the flexibility to invest in these types of products is critical to my success as an investor.
