The government needs to stop interfering in our ability to invest our money the way we see fit. My wealth is solely my wealth and does not belong to anyone else including the government.
These investment impediments do nothing to solve any problems, because investors can always find an alternative way to achieve the same objective.
I strongly oppose any restrictions to my right to invest.
The proposed legislation is vague to the point where it allows fairly unhindered interference by regulators in the market, and fundamentally skews it against the private individual investor. This is an action which will directly contribute to economic and other inequities, for which future generations will hold this administration responsible, regardless of what rhetoric it chooses to dress its
Packaged leveraged and inverse funds offer easy to access investment tools with with to manage risk or take advantage of market trends.

I believe you are wrong in assuming that investors using leveraged products are not totally educated in the product. I am 75 years old and have been trading on my own fo over 40 years.

Leave my investments alone. I am a big boy and been trading and investing for over 50 years. It is my money and I demand that FINRA stay out of my business.
Any move on your part to limit or control my, or other traders, abilities to invest shall be viewed as an attempt to interfere in my constitutional rights.
Leveraged risk can be highly risky but also highly rewarding. For a long term retail investor it allows me to take advantage of volatility and significant swings in the markets. No one has a foot on my neck telling me how to assess risk/reward ratios . Would be very upsetting if the small guy was unable to access these instruments .
Please do not implement restrictions on public trading of various Funds, ETFs, CDs or securities. Any limitations will only result in furthering the uneven distribution of wealth and inequalities in our society by limiting who will have access to certain types of investments.
Please do not create an environment where only elites will have access to certain investments.
Thank you.
