Why on earth would a "regulatory agency" restrict the financial movements of the citizens they allegedly claim to protect? Better said, why do we have these regulatory agencies in the first place? You are restricting the movement of American people to prosper and invest as we see best. WE are responsible for our spending, our investing, and our losses. Keep your sticky fingers
The federal government has no right to dictate what investments should be made and when. Account minimums, investor accreditation and other measures that bar people with net worths lower than those deemed "acceptable" is not at all what this country was founded on. DO NOT TAKE MY INVESTMENTS. Investments in cryptocurrency are investments in the future, just as buying Apple stock
As a retail investor, I should be free to invest in any public securities with my funds as I see fit. Government restriction of individual investors serves only to increase the wealth gap between most Americans and the ultra-wealthy. Leveraged and inverse funds provide access to financial instruments that would otherwise be available only within specialized circles of millionaires, billionaires,
I use leverage funds to provide upside exposure without taking on the added risk of buying on margin. When I buy a leveraged ETF I can only lose the amount I've invested in that ETF. I do not open myself up to the risk of a margin call. I should be able to assess my own risk and make my own investment decisions. I have been investing for 3 decades and been through many market cycles most
To whom it may concern,
I am alarmed at the new regs that I understand you are considering re: leveraged and inverse funds.
I use them for a hedge not a ridiculous amount of leverage.
I appreciate you looking out for me but I've been licensed several times, I majored in finance in college, and I've taught financial info for over 30 years.
Please, reconsider this action. If you

Consumers have both the right and responsibility to educate themselves about the risks & rewards associated with any investment, make the personal choice, and accept responsibility for it. Financial regulations always have the perverse effect

I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
I should have the right to determine what, if any, investments are right for me. I do not want "big brother" treating me like a child and regulating what currencies, if any, that I choose. Everything in life is risky. We "little people" have the right to take on risks just as much as you elitists do. It's simply not fair for you rich people to run our
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. That is why we have certified financial consultants/brokers. I am capable of understanding my investments
