As an investor I want and deserve the freedom to make my own choices about assets in which I invest. The SEC should not be taking on the role of "big brother" to oversee and perhaps overrule the decisions of millions of investors.

Every investor has it's own right to select his/her own investment options, including inverse, leveraged or cryptocurrency ETFs to name a few. Every investor already
