Regulators should not 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, not just the privileged.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I an very disappointed to read about the proposed regulations to curb the use of inverse, leveraged and other commonly used investments.
I use inverse funds to de-risk my portfolio as I believe most investors, using these funds do. I don't "bet" in market movement but I do protect myself when I see excessive volatility in the markets.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
Let everyone invest
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I believe that restricting leveraged and inverse ETFs is unnecessary as existing prospectuses already list and explain risks associated with these investments. Although I have passed the series 65, I see no reason that this certification or any other certifying exam would be necessary or beneficial to invest in these ETFs.
This is unfair to the investors and the free market. Please do not go forward with this and restrict investors.
Comments: I like to use these leveraged products for short duration trades in an efforts to enhance returns of my core portfolio. I also use leveraged inverse funds to hedge my long positions and I prefer it to shorting or buying puts.
Please do not change or restrict my ability to trade them.
