I use the leveraged investments as part of my investment strategy with certain portion of my investment for a long time. I understand there is some risk with the leveraged investments but there are also opportunities in the other hand and it sometimes works to hedge other risks. I believe this strategy should not be limited or barriered by the new rule of the regulators which may affect the outcome of my investment contrary to my will.

Limiting access to leveraged and inverse funds places qualified individual investors at a further disadvantage to the institutional elite traders, who currently enjoy unprecedented license to manipulate markets, to the detriment of the individual.

Leveraged funds are one of the most accessible tools to enable individuals to hedge against the unseen forces that decimate sound portfolios.

While I understand that some individuals may lack the sophistication to use such instruments, I also firmly believe that the majority must retain access to them.

We don't need more regulation.

This is outrageous. I am retired and I use leveraged and inverse funds carefully and often. They are key to my investing approach. Do not restrict access to them by small investors like me. The large institutions and hedge funds already have every advantage over us. You do not know what is best for me.

We should have the right to purchase any stock we desire.

This is an unfair and undemocratic rule that may hurt smaller investors and their ability to invest and have a good long term return. This should not go through.

Hi,

I opposed to proposed regulations. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me or my family. Any public investments should be available to all the public, not just people with high net worth or be submitted to any type of test.

It is my hard earned money, and we (the people) should be able to choose our own investment not been force to use a fund manager or limited access due to regulation.

Please oppose this regulation, which is unfair as it is written.

Thank you

Please do not limit our ability to invest in leveraged products.

As a personal investor, I understand the risk and reward with leveraged products. In todays time, there is plenty of information available for someone to make an informed decision around suitability. They are not for everyone, but for those that understand the risk, they can be a great addition to their portfolio. There does not need to be regulation around self-directed investing.

Easy and universal access to leveraged and inverse funds should not be hindered. These inbvestment vehicles provide unique opportunities for investors of all types. They are transparent and have a liquid market for investors. Speculative nvestments in individual stock positions can be far more dangerous to individual investors, but no one would ever consider limiting those abilities. This is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
