DO NOT TELL ME HOW I MUST OR MUST NOT INVEST MY MONEY WHEN I INVEST DIRECTLY. Keep your [REDACTED] hands out of my business and stop trying to regulate everything. Each person must have the right to do what they want with their money.

Please do not implement restrictions in my right to invest in public investments. I should be able to choose what investments are right for me and my family,
I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
They may help me to protect my investments as a limited part of my portfolio.

I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just a privileged few. I should not have to go through any process or test to invest in public securities.

As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles. Usually I use these funds to take advantage of short term market trends. To suggest that some special knowledge, other than reading the prospectus, is absurd. And implementing a net worth requirement will ultimately exclude small investors from utilizing investment opportunities which have been available for some time.

I oppose this regulation against my right. I could have brought option with same effect. Are you going to restrict options?

Now why would Wall St want this..it limits people's Right to participate in a Marketplace for the Public..it keeps power and Rights in the wealthy hands..this is horrendous.

I believe that I have all the knowledge and financial ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds without passing special qualifications. I do not want these additional restrictions on my investing. Like many investors, I use these investments for only a fraction of my portfolio, and consider them an offset to the risk of investing in individual stocks.

Regulators,

I am an educated investor who has invested for 10+ years. I have educated myself through research and advise from my broker on how these securities work. I've learned great lessons from both the ups and downs. I have built a portfolio that is long the market. I use inverse instruments as a hedge against a downturn. Without these safeguards, I would be more exposed to risk and be highly concerned.

Totally against, its unequal.

Please allow us to invest in investments like this. We understand the risk. This is a valuable part of my diversified investment strategy.
