What is more diabolical? Taking away the ability for everyday anyone's to protect their wealth, and maybe even obtain large gains during a market bear, or not making the knowledge about these products more readily available for the everyday anyone to educate themselves on how to use them properly, and to their best advantage. Or is doing both the most diabolical?

I am aware of all the risks involved. These tools play an important role in my investments. please make it easy for us to use. Thanks.

The rights of individuals to invest any funds they have available in any way they see fit is central to U.S. customary freedom. Investment funds offered through US exchanges are already regulated in may ways. It is not the role of our government to regulate investors. If our government FINRA wants to help consumer investors, work with the FCC to stop the continuous scam barrage through phone land and cell services and online that seeks to separate unwary investors and consumers from their money, and hackers who seek to raid financial resources.

We strongly feel that as an investor buying leveraged & inverse funds should be available to the investor for better returns. After all that is beauty of Stock Market in USA.Please DO Not STOP our right to invest to these funds/ETFs.

Let investors asses their own level of risk when it comes to leveraged investments.

I find it reprehensible that you would try to limit my ability to invest as an individual. I use inverse funds and futures to build income on the downside and if you limit my access to those products you will be limiting my ability to continue to build my portfolio and bring in income when the market falls.

I oppose limitations on my ability to buy leverages

I am highly opposed to any regulation on leveraged or inverse funds. These are market tool to help public / personal investors perform strategies that can be effective. Please stop shorting billionaires from robbing the middle class instead. That would be so much more helpful!

Please don't interfere with a person's choices of investments by imposing requirements on them to make them conform to some standard that seems right to you.
I have found that trust administrators refuse to allow cash to go into leveraged funds, yet for me the returns on money I manage for myself have far exceeded anything they have been able to deliver. They provide the bulk of my retirement account, and there isn't any reason why attempting daily to beat the market should be any different than any other strategy people may choose to follow.

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. 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 capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
