I oppose restrictions to my right to invest as I see fit. I should be able to choose which investments are right for me and my purposes. I should not have to take a test in order to invest. These restrictions are nothing more than making it more difficult for small investors while allowing privileged classes the ability to profit from restricted investment classes. If you can invest in these investments, I should be able to invest also.

It is unethical to take away our rights to invest in leveraged and inverse investments. We understand the risks involved in these products and they can help us enhance our returns and protect in a down market. Of course they can also magnify our losses if the market goes the other way. Please leave things the way they are and let hard working people invest in these types of products if they choose to.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.

I feel an investor should be able to make their own investments no matter what they are based on the homework and risk tolerance they have.
I, not reguators should make this decision.
I should not have to go through any special process before investing in these securities also.

Dear Sir:

I occasionally use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my portfolio. Those funds are safer than using options for that purpose, because they do not have the same time constraints. I use them for only 10% or 15% of my portfolio. Please do not make it more difficult to use those investments than it is now.

This is a outrageous and outright ridiculous proposal. There is no such thing as something being too complex for the ordinary trader. Especially nowadays with the internet and research materials available to everyone. You all just don't want the lower or middle class to be able to participate in the stock market. This is America and we are all free to invest in whatever we like with our money.

SO it was ok for Warren Buffet -Non-Dr. Master Bates- Hunter Biden but not for those who have less $ it all starts some where the climb is not easy. Let us have a chance to invest. thank you

I should be able to choose the investments that are best for me.

IMO this is excessive overreach by regulators. There is very little about leveraged or inverse funds that is any more complicated than their ordinary counterparts or mutual funds. I would venture to estimate that fewer than 1% of mutual fund owners could name the top three holdings in any mutual fund they have. Most of these inverse funds are even simpler: they have basically ONE holding. How is this somehow more confusing to investors?

1. I should be able to decide how I invest. 2. Shorting the market can lead to unlimited loss. Inverse funds limit that loss. 3. Just receiving an option book permits option trading. Receiving the prospectus of the ETFs should be adequate. 4. If you really want to protect the public, improve and enforce fiduciary standards AND selling annuities BEFORE restricting these ETFs.
