The whole point of having access to decentralized finance is so we have an opportunity to take some of our fiat currency and attempt to preserve our assets value in the midst of inflation. Please keep your hands out of my pockets. I already pay every tax under the sun.

In the past 40 years, federal policy has increasingly placed responsibility for retirement saving squarely on the shoulders of individuals. It is highly inappropriate for the government to assign that burden to individuals, then limit or restrict the sorts of investment vehicles available to individual investors. That includes leveraged funds, which, when the associated risk is properly managed, can produce outsized returns to an individual with otherwise limited means and help insure a comfortable retirement.

Leveraged/Inverse Products ... like other investment products, leveraged and inverse funds or ETFs have a useful purpose for those who have some understanding of the terms "leveraged" and "inverse"...

All a person has to do to understand what "leveraged" or "inverse" means is some MINIMAL research on their broker's website or the AAII website or any of dozens of other investment/financial websites readily available.

Please do not limit my ability to invest in certain products, such as leveraged ETFs. I know the risks; I understand these securities.
I have invested with these successfully in the past.

If these regulations are imposed, it will eliminate the neccesary credentials used to conduct business. If you do away with the series 7, FINRA opening the door to deception, coruption and illegal activity.

I am a well-versed investor and am opposed to further restriction which limits the publics ability to build wealth.

I want to be able buy leveraged and inverse funds.
I have invested successfully with these products.
I understand them, and I understand the risks.

Please do not restrict my rights!

Please note I've been investing with 3x leveraged ETFs (e.g. TQQQ) for over two years with no concern about the volatility of these instruments. The math should be simple for most people .... if 3x the underlying security, then invest only 1/3 of assets to obtain equivalent volatility of underlying security. This has proven to be beneficial since more funds are available to invest in more conservative funds to obtain less volatility of the total portfolio.

I am a senior tax specialist and this sounds to me like just another way for the already wealthy to place obstacles in the way of those trying to create wealth of there own
