People should have the right to freely invest their own money in public investments without government interference. Part of living in a supposedly free country is the right to do as we please with our own money and this includes making mistakes. Imposing tests, wealth checks, and forcing you to go through a broker is closing off these opportunities to all but the wealthy and the privileged, and
Hello
Regarding the proposed changes, I am concerned about the blocks being put on individuals and small investors like myself.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and you and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, investment banks, hedge funds and wall street.
I shouldn't have
Im extremely disappointed at the consideration of new regulations which would put regulators instead of individuals the right to choose investments that are right for us and our families. Why should public investment be made available only to privileged elites?

As an individual investor who started with very little and has put countless hours into learning the markets to be successful, Im completely outraged at the the thought of another government regulatory entity over-stepping their bounds in an attempt to protect me from risk.
