As a hard working retail investor, I’m demanding transparency and accountability for the market makers. I want better tracking of short selling, restricted use of dark pools and t-1 clearing of transactions. I’m tired of seeing HFT’s scalp the profit off the market every morning.
Allow poor people struggling to make ends meet to freely trade Crypto without being taxed again. This help will go a long way to wage war against joblessness , daily crimes ; decongest prison & promote safe society. Allow the poor to survive & live better .
Remarks From the National Compliance Outreach Program for Broker-Dealers
Please refrain from trying to limit my options for investing. I have been investing for over 30 years using my own judgment. I do not need your guidance or protection. It should be my choice in which funds to invest, for better or worse, not your unilateral prohibitions.
Dear Regulators, I know that certain type of shares are risky, but I can understand that market does involve risk. Certain risks do give better returns. So, this privilege should not be limited to people with huge wealth. I should be able to decide where to put my money to invest.
While I understand the desire to protect investors, I dont think it is fair to treat all investors as if they are the same. Providing choices with adequate disclosures is better for both investors and professionals. Equal outcomes will never happen, as people behave differently, have different work ethics, and difference preferences and values.
Restricting opportunities for retail investors is not going to help them make better investment decisions or grow wealth. It will only serve to increase the wealth inequality in the U.S. Having investors test in order to trade certain ETPs is an unrealistic burden on investors and a waste of tax payer money to facilitate.

Please do not hurt, disparage, and/or insult the potential of the American people to make their own financial decisions.
I used to trade futures a few years back, I stopped because much of the movement went to overnight sessions. The leveraged and inverse funds put the regular traders on better footing to deal with the High Frequency traders. If you would like to regulate someone, I would suggest the hedge funds.
Leveraged funds can be very useful for certain goals. There is nothing necessarily optimal about the 1x leverage an investor would obtain using a typical index fund such as SPY. For some investors/situations, less than 1x leverage is better and for others, greater than 1x leverage is better. Hence restricting the public's access to leveraged funds could be detrimental to those whose risk
