This is over regulation plan and simple. There is a limit on which the government can protect people especially when it comes to investing. Every investor/ trader has lost and made money and has learned from every trade. Your this is not for thee it is only for we attitude is not protection it is exclusion.

I should be able to choose investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I am capable if making my own decisions about my investments. Please do not limit my ability yo plan for my future
Please do not restrict my ability to invest into leveraged funds. I have had very good results by investing into these funds in the past and have incorporated them into my overall investment strategy. Restricting my ability to invest in these funds will hamper my ability to strengthen my retirement plan.
Now more than ever people are expected to manage their own finances and financial planning. Taking away any free market options is ludicrous. Anyone can research leveraged and inverse funds and choose whether or not to take the risk of investing in them. Do not impose restrictions on the free market.
We deserved the freedom to use our own brain and mind to pickup the investments we want purchase. The tings your guys planning to do is similar to the scandal Robinhood did during the GME and AMC trade, please stop to do it if you still want to hold credibility for FINRA.
Im a hard working, tax paying, middle class American that doesnt want to be limited in my investment options. Its up to me to make that determination for myself & family. It should not be some regulators decision that is most likely detached from the perils of planning for my familys financial future.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
I understand the risks associated with inverse and leveraged investment products. These proposed restrictions will not protect me from losing money, they will interfere with my ability to plan for my future. I should not have to pass a test before I am allowed to invest in public securities.
