I use leveraged and inverse funds as a part of my regular portfolio and I don't need a bunch of [REDACTED] to be able to do it!

I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family. I should not go through any special process to invest in public funds.

Working class people that take the time to learn about investing and that take the time to invest their money should be able to do so how they see fit. This opportunity shouldnt be taken away from us or taken away from people that want to do it in the future.

Investors don't need these regulations. We understand that investing in financial markets can be risky. They can be appropriate in certain circumstances, and we can decide on our own where we want to invest. Passing a test or any other special process will only favor the "big boys" over individual investors. I use leveraged funds as a small part of my overall portfolio, and I feel the rewards outweigh the risks. I don't need the government's "help" - I just want to be free to make my own decisions.

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,

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.
