I want to maintain your current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing. I not regulators 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 you can invest in public
I oppose any burdensome regulation on leveraged funds. I have no objection if you want to require potential investors to read information about a fund's risk and pass a test based on that reading before allowing the investor to invest in a high-risk fund. But I have invested in a leveraged fund where I can lose all my investment, and I accept that risk based on market factors. However,
I want to select my own investments and NOT be "over-regulated" by governmental NANNIES!! Public investments and markets should be available to all of the public, not just the rich, and you def shouldn't have to pass some [REDACTED] biased test before you can invest in public securities! I am quite capable of assessing risk and value for MYSELF!!! Fyi, I use leveraged and inverse
I manage my own portfolio. This allows me to adjust my investments when our leaders make stupid and ill advised decisions which is happening now! We do not need more regulations or restrictions! We need less!
My concern not only applies to stock trading but also to the new crypto currency trading and investing!
The creators are doing a good job making it transparent and understandable. It is
How Arrogant! You are putting up hurdles for no good reason. People should not need to pass a test, cool off or be forced to follow any nanny state idea. How little faith you have in people. This is insane and I guess it is finally time to organize and remove overbearing, outlandish, self serving humans. I bet you are doing this because of events like GME, wall street bets. You just want to stop
a. Public investments should be able to all of the public, not just the privileged
b. I am well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds together with the risks and certainly don't need special tests / process to pass before we can invest in these types of securities.
c. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
d. It is better that regulators
I believe that my family and I should have the ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without government regulators making that decision for us. We understand the risks inherent with these types of funds and we use them as a portion of our portfolio of investments to hedge against market drops. There is no reason anyone should have to go through a special process, like passing a test,

I have the sole ability to choose what investments I want to pursue. I oppose any restrictions of my right to invest in any public investment available in the market place. It is ridiculous to have to pass a special test so I may invest in a public security. If/when I invest in a leveraged and/or inversed fund, I do understand the risks, my goodness I am literate, educated, and capable of
I am outraged that you call Structured Product "complex investments." How can you paint these products with such a broad brush? Frequently companies use futures to hedge against many risks. Why not call their stocks complex investments as well? I believe simply informing clients of the risks, as our firm does with all the investments we sell, should suffice with any risk disclosure. We
