I, not regulators - should 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. [REDACTED] NO!!! STAY AWAY FROM MY MONEY!!

Once again regulators believe we are too dumb to use necessary products in which to grow our worth. Please provide data that confirms your belief that the products we use are too "Complex". I believe that Cryptos, legal gambling and other forms of memes and schemes pose a far greater threat than established inverse and leveraged funds. What are you doing about those?

Regulators let stocks fly to the moon and then wish to take away our individual ability to profit from their downfall. And they ARE going down. You all are shameful.

I believe individuals should be free to invest their money freely, without undo regulation. I'm fine with my brokerage having me acknowledge that I understand I'm taking on some additional risk with leveraged and inverse funds. Beyond that, I should be free to invest in these publicly traded funds. For me, this is keeping me away from Options trading and associated complexities, while still be able to accomplish similar goals. Please do not add any further restrictions.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am adamantly opposed to the restrictions proposed with regard to leveraged and inverse funds. I have owned one for years, and am totally aware of the risks involved. It has also been one of my best investments.
I am extremely concerned that these measures will hamper liquidity of the investment I already have, as well as restrict the ability of buying similar products in the future by severely limiting the market for such products.

I should 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 shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, and I do not want to see a requirement added to prove high net-worth or series 6 exam or similar as that is too large a hurdle for most people to overcome. I would support basic knowledge quizzes before allowing access to these types of funds, similar to the approach the EU has taken. But these quizzes should be easily accessible from home, without needing to spend an unreasonable amount time or money to take and pass the quiz.

As an individual investor, I take time to learn and understand what I am investing in. It should not be limited by regulators. Do not shut us out of leveraged and inverse funds.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies. They are far less risky than shorting individual stocks and are an important tool in my investment toolbox..

I don't agree

Comments: Please do no limit access to leveraged funds. I use them extensively, and they are excellent trading products. For those that are not familiar with them, there are excellent precautions in place by brokerages, including the requirement to read and sign information about the risks, as well as a risk statement with every trade.
