I have no use for regulations that limit my investment choices. Free will and freedom to choose is essential to my American way of life. Authorities who make believe that they know more about me than I know about myself have exceeded the limits of government of the people, by the people, for the people. Authoritarians war against my freedom of choice and in no way represent my own best interests. Authoritarians hide behind vain imagining of protecting the ignorant and irrational (which cannot be done), but only harm the rational, knowledgeable investors who work long and hard to educate ourselves in order to make better decisions.
I have been saving and investing for fifty years, and any restricting and limiting regulations only tie my hands behind me, blind fold me, and force me to find some kind of work-around to defend my way of life against the regulatory attack on my freedom to make choices, decisions, and elections.
Do NOT tread on my ability to choose investments, including ETFs, leveraged ETFs, inverse ETFs, or crypto ETFs. Such authoritarian regimes of regulators have no place in the USA. I absolutely oppose and stand wholly against any authors of limitations, restrictions, and violation of my right to elect my own personal investments. I have no desire or willingness to allow this country to become more like Russia, China, or North Korea. Public investment must be open and available to the public. These leveraged, inverse, and crypto ETF's help me to compensate for inflation and grow my nest egg. Why would "well-meaning" authors of regulation steal or trample on my ability to manage my own finances? It is impossible to protect the ignorant against their irrational mistakes, but it is possible to deny me my rights, freedom of choice, and ability to manage my family's financial planning for the future. I ask that you not restrict my ability to care for my family's future.
