I have been active investor for over 20 years and have successfully managed my SEP IRA and investment accounts during that time. I should not be required to take any tests to invest in any stocks including leveraged and inverse funds. In particular, leveraged and inverse funds allow me to take advantage opportunities using less capital as well as hedge risk. Please do not restrict and/or make it burdensome to invest properly. A prudent investor is solely responsible for his/her own investments, NOT any bureaucracy or regulator.

Don't take away our investing rights!! I can make my own decisions. I don't need government telling me what I can and can't invest in. That's an insult to my investing intelligence. I know when something is risky. I use leveraged and inverse funds as a part of my investment strategy and I use them sparingly and wisely. Let me decide!

I know the risks of leveraged and inverse funds. I use them to enhance my portfolio. I'm an educate person, and do not need someone telling me what I can or can't do with my investments. I don't need to take a test.

I am very capable of managing my money!

I oppose any regulations restricting my ability to invest in anything I deem of interest. I view this as limiting my options and freedoms as an investor. You should focus on those investors and investments which are illegal and allow others a unfair advantage.

Please allow all citizens the right to invest as lawmakers can!

No more regulations.

This is very foolish. Yes, people can lose a lot of money with inverse funds, but they can lose a lot of money going long on any stock if they hold it too long. Bonds are not a good investment right now and neither are stocks. There is no other choice when the market is dropping every week than to buy inverse funds. Yes, you should never hold them for long, but anyone with a brain doesn't. Why do I need certificate to invest in these funds rather than any others?

You should be looking to approve more investment options. Not removing the choices we have now.

We are Americans. We have freedom to invest how we can!
