I am an individual investor not having high net worth.
I use leveraged funds with a small amount of my investments as a hedge. I don't use margin.
I have been doing this for decades. Losing this option would be unfair.

In no, way, fashion shape or form does the government have any business telling investors whether they are 'permitted' to invest in any investment and this includes but is not limited to:
1). the regulators have no business telling me what I can or cannot invest in. this is way to much control on their part.
2). I shouldn't have to prove I can invest by going thru some sort of test. its my money and I'll invest anyway I like.
3). I seek enhanced investments like pro shares to increase my overall return for my children and grandchildren

Everyone or no one. Complex strategies should not be limited the domain of the well connected and or large banking firms, while restricting access to the general population.

This is [REDACTED] our constitutional rights and freedoms are being destroyed

Freedom to invest!

What ever happened to the concept of individual responsibility? Why does government and quasi government entities think I/We are blithering idiots?

For the record: I am adult who understands risk. If I wish to invest in a high risk investment, That is my prerogative!

In short: IT IS NONE OF YOUR/GOVERMENT'S BUSINESS!!

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.

I not regulators should 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.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies. I use them on a quarterly basis and am careful with how i use them.

The government has no constitutional right to any aspect of my income or how I make it.

Dictators decide who can profit.

Stay out of our business and leave our rights alone. Do not give ANYONE the power to take our freedom of choice,to invest in whatever we see worthy. TOO BIG,TOO MUCH ,GOVERNMENT OVER REACH IS ACTUALLY THE BEGINNING OF WANTING TO GET MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR PEOPLE.
I am not for this GOVERNMENT to have any questions about what/ when / Who I invest my money on.
