What makes this country great is freedom! Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to invest your money as you see fit. While I agree that an investor needs to understand the potential risks associated with investing (be that real estate, stocks, bonds, leveraged or inverse funds) the government SHOULD NOT regulate who can take these risks and who cannot.

Trading has recently become accessible to the public via apps in a way it has never been accessible in the past, and I believe that this broad access should continue to be available to all presently qualified people - for better or worse.

I oppose any restrictions on my freedom to invest in the stock market. This is a overreach by the SEC.

The ability to trade inverse and leveraged investment vehicles as well as closed end funds, volatility assets, stocks bonds and options are all equally important to me personally! Regulators should not be able to determine what I as a long term sophisticated investor should be able to trade. There is no reason to make me subject to any special process or approvals, I have been using them for a
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
Comments:Given that it's been banks and wall street that has crashed the stock market numerous times with their wild gambling and poor planning, even though they're supposedly sophisticated traders with lovely certificates attesting to the fact, perhaps you should tighten regulations on the financial giants and leaches in the system before you go after the small people.
