Leverage and inverse funds are strategic investments for me. I should not have to pass a test to invest in these funds. Everyone should be able to invest in these funds; not just the privileged.

Leverage has worked for me. Please stop taking good opportunities away from an informed investor

I am opposed to the proposed rules adding restrictions on purchases of leveraged investment products for individual investors. Individual investors should have the ability to choose what strategies to utilize and the equities they purchase. Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into individual stocks. Investment products in the open market should be available to all individuals and not limited.

Do not we live in America? Any attempt by government and /or regulators to limit the freedoms of everyday citizens (ie. contending that every day citizens are not capable of managing their own affairs and investment decisions) is an insult and frankly unconstitutional. Perhaps we need government officials at every roulette table in America to save Americans from themselves. Stay in your lane bro!

Do not restrict the peoples right to invest. Why did you wait for a declining market to consider this? Highly suspicious. Small investors are always subject to a rigged system against them. Why is that?

Its so important to allow investors, not regulators, to determine the right investments for their families. Limiting investors is unfair, and will ultimately weaken those markets.

I oppose this regulation. You should be subject to something akin to the hippocratic oath. You often skip right past the "first, do no harm" stage and go straight into surgery, assuming that you can make things better through burdonsome regulation. I continue to be surprised that your constituent members have not recognized the many ways that you have outgrown your charter and outlived your usefulness.

It is ridiculous and a crime to take away a citizens right to invest how and when and how much they personally want to. This government is not my parent or my god.

Leave my decisions on investing to me. No Big Brother [REDACTED]
