As a daily active equity trader, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I believe public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
As long as I can read the disclosures specifically from such investment vehicles, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest
Comments: More restrictions hurt; they do not help. The market is risky, as are many things in life. It is an individuals responsibility to do due diligence before investing. Limiting investment options based on wealth, experience, or any other subjective factor is wrong. An individual, and solely that individual, should have the ability and right to make unrestricted investment decisions on
To whom it may concern: I have an MBA in Fnanace - 1984, and have been investing for the past 40 years.

This attempt at limiting my ability to invest and trade is outrageous. This is regulatory over reach that assumes we are unable to make our own informed decisions about our investment portfolios. Please consider that my family and I should be able to choose unfettered, which investments are best for us. We should not be burdened with a special and arbitrary process.
