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 the privileged. Provided that adequate warnings are given to the investor

Hello, It is my risk that I am taking not yours.

Regulators should not be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me, nor does anyone else.

Please do not allow regulators to restrict the investment strategies of investors. Putting restrictions on leveraged or inverse funds is un-American. It should not be allowed to happen.

I use inverse and leveraged funds to hedge my portfolios. Putting that beyond the average investor's reach gives the "Big Guys" one more advantage over the market and the small investor. Please do not restrict this useful investing tool to the large investors.

Please consider the small investors who want to hedge their investments in times of turbulence. The small investor has few places to go because the larger firms which might assist with hedging will not do business with a small investor. The rich get richer generally at the expense of the small investor, More tools like these, well monitored, are the better solution. Taking away tools like these works to the small investors disfavor.

I utilize many leveraged ETFs which is beneficial when requiring leverage but not having to use margin. Each trade is also accompanied by warnings from the broker and most people I know are aware of the issues. Very beneficial to provide a hedge when markets are crashing as it is now.

So many of the funds that may be at risk are important for individual investors to be able to access. It seems anti-democratic to keep them away from small investors and to only grant access to some of the best types of funds to rich (aka 'qualified') investors.

This market is an open market, and I should NOT be restricted from trading leveraged funds as I use them to expedite a portion of my portfolio, as well as inverse funds that I have traded as a hedge against my portfolio. The market should remain open for retail inverters without restrictions

Do Not take away leveraged and invese exchange traded products from investors.
