Regulations that prevent the freedoms of individual's investment of THEIR capital into legal markets not only perpetuates the growing wealth gap through asymmetric opportunity but also encourages the few authorized to use their HUMAN RIGHTS to abuse their positions to grow their wealth through collusion of the few (accredited investing barriers to entry serve as pillars to capitalistic corruption and subjugation of the middle and lower class who subsequently only serve as exit liquidity and victims of market maker arbitrage).

I am retired and rely on my investments to provide income. I swing trade the market when it reaches extremes of bullishness or pessimism. By using leveraged and inverse ETF's I make money without risking my entire portfolio.. These products are not complex for someone who has no financial training but follows the market.

We not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

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

To whom it may concern,

Leave us ALONE!

I am not sure what the issue would be to destroy my ability to purchase inverse or leveraged funds. If these are purchased with cash and I understand my risks then no one else should care about if I want to buy them.

I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds. I do my own research and should not be required to take tests or have a high net worth to be able to invest. I use leveraged and inverse funds as insurance for my investments. Making these important investments harder to obtain would be very detrimental to overall portfolio security. I should be able to choose investments that I see fit without these restrictive measures imposed on me.

Public should have the freedom to choose which funds/securities we invest in. Regulatory bodies should not impose their decision on public. All investors understand the risks and we do not require any unsolicited advise.

It will make the large institutions have even more advantage against us individual investors. I dont think this is the right way to do it

The only way you can make money
