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,
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
Data transparency is the hallmark of reliability, responsibility, and accountability. As such, all information about short sale positions, short interest, etc. should be publicly and freely available in real time immediately. Failing that, as soon as possible - which, given the electronic nature of these transactions, ought to be virtually immediately. Anything less increases corruption,
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

As an individual investor who has invested in complex instruments for years, I am opposed to these regulatory controls. They are over-reach by the government on the assumption that people are stupid and should be ruled rather than have the freedoms. The barrier to these instruments will not only create obstacle for investment, it will dramatically increase the cost to access these instruments as
I am generally of the opinion that leveraged ETFs, like Options, are not appropriate for most investors. While I would support these being available in accounts marked "Aggressive Growth" or "Trading" for account objective, their inclusion in retirement account like IRAs should be restricted due to the extreme potential for volatility. I am also of the opinion that these
