Imposing laws to prohibit and make it harder for the average person to invest is wrong. Actions like this are the reason many people distrust the government and the top 1% income earners. We should be able to invest our money to build wealth and stability for our families without "tests" and needing "permission" from a broker. Funds help to build out my portfolio especially my IRA account which will only help to make my future financial situation more stable.

Please leave leveraged and inverse ETFs in tact. They allow simple investors like myself buy and sell simple ETFs like stock without having to do complex short trades or PUTS&CALLS which require more sophisticated trading knowledge. The ETFs work very well and simply for average investor. We realize the risk and losses are contained by broker if necessary. Thank you.

We are adult investors and don't need to be micro-managed.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I do not believe any regulatory agent should be allowed to restrict any portion of the public from purchasing public investments. I do not believe one should have to pass a proficiency test to be allowed access to investing. Risk is an important component of any investment. Risk is not something that can be regulated away. Each individual investor has to choose an investment strategy balancing their own specific risk-reward comfort level.

It is NOT up to you to decide how I invest MY money.

My money, my choice!

This proposal is unconstitutional and can only be decided by individual states. Additionally you can simply warn people about the risks but not make it more difficult to invest or trade in certain funds as that is an undue burden.

I want free invest

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies. Consider explaining ways I use
leverage and inverse funds, including that they help I
protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns,
and if I use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.

Please do not restrict investor choices of by elimination of certain funds that have been previously available for us to invest with. I consider this to be a restriction of investor freedoms.
