Public investment should be available for everyone, I should not have to go through any special process or a test in order to invest in public securities

Please do not add more regulations and disrupt my right to invest. Bank interest rates are so low that the only way to make any real return on your investment is to invest in the free market. This should not be limited to the super wealthy or a game for tax brokers and their fees.

Comments:I'm an experienced investor. Over 60 years investing in common stocks. Please allow. I only use leveraged elf's a few times when markets are out of balance.
Thanks you, James Goss

A high net worth individual with brokerage firm classification of some degree of sophistication should not have to fill in extra paperwork to indulge in a speculative investment.

I am not averse to getting information such as that given for options. It's information that should be in the hands of investors, but what is intrusive and unnecessary is regulatory approval.

Comments: Disallowing retail investors the opportunity to hedge their portfolio with appropriate leveraged products is just another way of keeping retail investors from the many available investments that are out there for institutions. Allow us the opportunity to invest where we want, stop limiting our investment options it should be on the investor to decide and do their own due diligence on their investments.

I oppose limitations on my right to invest!

Hello,

I want to maintain the current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing.

Good job with these rules. They seem very sensible. Too many people get suckered into buying shady products like these without really understanding what they are buying. The fact that companies are upset at the thought of people needing to really understand what they are buying is a huge red flag for me.

Please do not attempt to restrict the use of specialty investments. They are needed for a well rounded approach to many peoples portfolios. If someone doesn't understand an investment they shouldn't be using it, or leave it to a professional. Do you really think your going to protect someone from themselves, when the don't know what they are doing? Leave the use of these investments the way they are.
