Thé government has no right to tell hard working Americans how they can invest their money. It did not work for it. These rules would block access for the average person to invest in companies that would bring them revenue. A risk is a risk. Everyday you walk across the street you take a risk. Its the for some anonymous government official to decide where and how people invest. This is outrageous. You are trying to condemn the little people to a life of poverty and slavery to your tax system.
I oppose any new governmental imposed restrictions that would in any way limit or impede my ability to buy and sell market Funds.
Please do not create a caste system of those able to invest and better themselves and those who are not.
Please do spend this energy on financial education and enforcement against fraudulent actors.
I do not appreciate the government telling me what the right investments are for my family. I also do not like the government making one set of rules for the middle class and another for high net worth individuals on wall street. Please leave crypto investing alone, there were 85,000 new millionaires from cryptocurrency alone last year and I like to invest in worthwhile projects in that space. Any president that oversees and allows cryptocurrency to be curbed in any way other than rooting out fake projects will sound the death knell for their political party.
I oppose the regulations currently under consideration that would constrain my rights to choose investments that are best for myself and my family. Nor should there be any convoluted, special process that is used to deny my rights to trade in investments in leveraged and/or inverse funds which are often important to managing risk in any investors portfolio. I have substantial experience in investing and do not need BIG Government protection in such matters!
Leveraged and inverse funds play a critical and essential role in my investments, particularly in times like today where the risk of a recession requires the tools to hedge my portfolio. With both bond and equity investments declining in value, as a super senior citizen I can't afford to have my portfolio gutted by inflation and bad economic management by my government.
Government has absolutely no business in my money or investments
I am opposed to the Extreme regulations that you want to put on people who want to invest.
I am an individual investor not having high net worth.
I use leveraged funds with a small amount of my investments as a hedge. I don't use margin.
I have been doing this for decades. Losing this option would be unfair.
