Public investments should be exactly that- public. As a non-professional investor should not have to go through special processes to invest in public securities such as leveraged or inverse funds. The market is already stacked against the small investor since we cannot access the 'instant' trades where the professionals make so much of their profits. The proposed regulation would be incredibly unfair, making the market even more unfriendly to the small investor. They would impose undue burdens on small investors like me.

I believe I should have the right to trade equities as I see fit. If I lose money so be it that was my choice and I am responsible for my choices and their outcomes. However, I do not believe that someone has the right to determine what is in my best interest and restrict said trading on my behalf. I have a degree in economics and have the skills required to make those choices myself. If I were you I would stop this nonsense and take a closer look at what is. happening at the f federal level.

Restricting trading strategies is fundamentally unfair. There is no legitimate reason to restrict leveraged or inverse funds. Investors always must assume the risks of their investment choices. Unsophisticated investors may not understand systemic risks, but it does not mean investors should be entirely prohibited from investing altogether.

I should be able to choose what public investments I can make without interference. Inverse funds have been a very important part of my investment strategy and no restrictions or limitations should be imposed on my ability to use these investment tools.

Everyone should be able to invest in all types of investment products. Freedom to make our own choices.

I don't need a babysitter controlling my investment decisions. Let me think for myself.

To whom it may concern,

I request you do NOT add new requirements or restrictions to those funds deemed "complex." The term itself can be vague at best and requiring consumers to jump through arbitrary hoops still doesn't reduce the risk of harm in any way, but it could potentially exclude individuals from benefiting from their added diversification.

I can see where you are coming from but as much as you want to regulate everything from mortgage, stocks and bonds, and from whom you can purchase from. Over regulation never works.

Leveraged ETFs should be available to everyone. They are not more complex and risky than buying options. Level 2 options approval is easy for anyone to obtain and Options are a wasting asset.

Regulate wall street not main street. You are just adding extra hoops for retail traders to jump through. If a retail trader wants to take on a lot of risk, they will find a way to do it. You are not protecting anyone. This will just widen the gap between the average investor and institutional investors.
