I, shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you 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

Retail traders should have equal access to complex investments as institutional/professional traders.

Educating investors of risk through simple disclosures is important and a fair requirement before permitting trading. Any threshold test should be minimal and easily met (including for those with English as a second language). Have faith in the investor to understand the risks and manage their finances as they see fit.

Equal access is an important characteristic of democracy.

Leveraged and inverse funds are an important method of protecting my investment portfolio from massive downturns similar to what we experienced in 2000 and 2008.
The current volatility of this market is a great concern of mine. Rampant inflation, government spending, world conflicts require me to position my portfolio to offset these factors.
I am a veteran investor having spent 25 years as a Financial Advisor with UBS.
Please think twice before eliminating this investment option.

I oppose my restrictions to my right to invest since I should be able to choose the publicinvestments that are right for mer and my family and no regulators.

It's really touching that you bozos think you know what's best for everyone and feel a need to save us drooling, unthinking masses from ourselves like a white knight you hear about in the fairy tales. Your condescension is not wanted nor appreciated.

Dont classify pro shares as complex

Please do not impose additional regulations on inverse and leveraged funds. These are valuable tools used by investors to balance their portfolios, and also to hedge against macro economic risk. Without the benefit of these funds the ability to hedge the risk in my investment portfolio would be greatly diminished. Please let investors decide what they should invest in.

The proposed additional restrictions are profoundly immoral and wrong. Every individual should be free to choose how to invest their wealth however they see fit. Status quo restrictions on leveraged investment vehicles are already unnecessary and overbearing. The very existence of the status "accredited investor" is a grotesque outrage, and should be condemned by anyone who actually believes in any semblance of freedom.

Were not stupid as you think
