Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I utilize these types of funds to offset inherent risk in my portfolio. By limiting access to these types of funds you will force me to manage my retirement portfolio in a much less efficient manner or require me to lower my overall rate of return that is necessary for my wife and my retirements.

I am writing to say how important leveraged funds are to my portfolio. Please allow me to continue to invest in these important funds, as they are part of my investment strategy. I have two masters degrees, one in economicsand I understand the risks/rewards that entail such investments. Additionally, one does not need not pass a test to understand these types of funds - just reading a few articles and descriptions are enough to know whether these investment vehicles are tailored for you.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

Please leave us the freedom to invest in public securities of our choosing.

Using leveraged funds is an important part of our investment strategy. We use the funds in an appropriate manner and hedge them with other assets. We specifically request that our opportunity to use these vehicles is not regulated away.

It's especially important regulators hear from you in your own words. Please use the body of this email to customize your response. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was alarmed to hear of the proposal to restrict my right to invest by limiting access to leveraged and inverse investments. I hold strongly that I should be free to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family without regulatory interference. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my personal investment strategies. They are used as a limited part of my overall portfolio as a hedge to protect my investments.

strongly oppose regulators to choose what is right for me or my family to invest. I am considered well versed in investment options, however I object to being tested for my ability to understand and to pick my investment options. This is ridiculous. How much control do you want over us? Leave us alone and let us pick whatever option is right or appropriate for our goals. Leveraged funds give us the ability to hedge our investments and we use them as a small part of our portfolios. So hands off please! We are tired of regulators trying to exert control over investors.

Investing strategy and instruments should be left up to the investor as long as they are legal and perform as subscribed.
You 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. Explain that you are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. Tell regulators you do not
need these measures imposed on you.
Other reasons you think these restrictions on your

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me manage risk and profit during periods of volatility such as we have experienced in the past few years. I see no valid reason to restrict the use of such instruments in any manner.
