I am writing to contest in the strongest possible way your intent to limit investment in leveraged or inverse funds. As adults, it is every American's right to make investment choices on their own. Whether they are smart or dumb choices, regulators have no business acting as nannies for grown adults.
Rather than putting the burden on the individual investor, you should focus on the
Hello:
I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed rules for investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Its a violation of my rights as an investor and imposes unreasonable burden on my ability to trade in a timely manner.

This clearly follows that basis to protect vested corrupt interest to the detriment of the
I would like to speak for all retail investors when I say the underhanded ways corporations are given to manipulate a stock are abhorrent. A pure disregard for what an "Open market" should be. I feel the only way the playing field can be leveled is to make all information available to us, and for entities such as yourselves to police matters harder with stiffer penalties. This is the
My first impression of this proposal is that it is a reaction to activities of individuals during the recent pandemic. Those who followed Wall Street Bets chasing meme stocks succumbed to, as Glenn Frey wrote in Smugglers Blues, "The lure of easy money is a very strong disease." As such the cure for such affliction would be better found with "Gamblers Anonymous"
