I am able to make my own investment decisions. I do not require the federal government and certainly not unelected folk to try to "protect" me from funds that I use to offset the risks of other investments. The effect of the proposed regulations is such that it will make it much more difficult for me to protect myself and it will make such funds only available to the privileged. This is a horrible idea. You are proposing to regulate me from insuring myself. It's a very bad idea and unAmerican. Please stop this effort.

I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest. Investments shouldn't be available only to the privileged few.

I am Retired, and manage my IRA myself. I listen carefully to a variety of Investors using TV and Internet sources. I frequently utilize ProShare Leveraged and Inverse Funds in this endeavor. I am fully-aware of the Risks of using these vehicles Long Term. I use them for Short Term Opportunities. I would like to use these Funds well into my Future Retirement Years.

Let everyone invest

Let everybody do what ever they want Take care from bigger problems

I took the the Financial Program and it did not help. The broker intercedes and advises on all vehicles I trade.
For years I have timed and learned the markets.
It only comes from experience in testing and not some education program. It is trying different vehicles then testing for knowing how they work

Regulations do not protect the beginner and what test can any one come up with to compete with trying and learning.
People with little money need to learn through trial and error.

This is a free enterprise country. It would be, in my opinion, unlawful to interfere with a newer and probably better monitary system.

Taxation without representation is extortion. If you're not representing me and my interests, then who are you representing? We have rights!
