I strongly oppose restricting access to any public investments to those who already have significant financial and/or social capital. This is the sort of self-dealing that gives the financial industry the reputation of rigging the game in its own favor at the expense of retail investors. I personally use 3X leveraged funds to potentially enhance returns on a small portion of my overall portfolio. I understand the risks, and I'm currently experiencing the significant downside and volatility without losing sleep.

1. I not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

2. 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. 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.

I have invested successfully in leveraged funds for years. They provide a means for me to have a portion of my portfolio very aggressively invested while keeping the bulk of it in less volatile investments and income producing investments. I do not need public servants who work for my government trying to protect me by restricting my investment choices or requiring me to receive training.

I understand how leverage products work and I have been using them for quite sometime. These products should be available to all investors, include myself, not only to the privileged ones. Leverage products are small part of my portfolio and I use them to hedge my portfolio. I understand how and when to use them and I dont need to go through special test to be able to access them. Thanks

I have been investor in leveraged funds for a number of years. It should be my choise. Most option contracts expire worthless. This is not much riskier. The risks are outlined in the prosectus. Please let us invest how we want.

Let me make my own decisions.

We do not need more regulations. I am opposed to these restrictions.

I am outraged that you are trying to tell me what I can or can't invest in. Leveraged funds are a critical part of my investment strategy to limit risk. I am fully aware of the risks using inverse funds.Furthermore, they are an important part of having market checks and balances. I would urge you to not place any restrictions on these funds.

This is not fair, I'm opposed to the measures you want to implement. Allow us to do whatever they want with their money

I use leveraged funds in a small portion of my risk parity style portfolio. Limiting access to these funds reduces the individual investor's choices to meet their investment goals.
