Please do not attempt to regulate leveraged funds in such an insincere way that would make it only available to the already wealthy and powerful individuals, ensuring they always stay ahead of the average person who does not have the time to dedicate their entire life to pursuing wealth through investment.

I oppose any action by any regulatory agency that would limit freedom to make choices on investment types or any barriers to entry on such.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. As an older investor who started investing later in life, I use them to seek enhanced returns, and you should never be permitted to take away my right to think for myself and make my own decisions about how, when, and with whom I invest MY money. I shouldn't have to go through any special process or exam test to be able to invest in public securities, and it is patriarchal and arrogant to assume that I am incapable of understanding leveraged and inverse fund and their risks.

Without leveraged funds, I simply would NOT have been able to retire - that simple. Don't take my ability to make money away.

I oppose restrictions to the stock market.

I invest in Closed End Funds and BDCs for income. Please don't make it harder for small retail investors like myself to invest in these income vehicles.

Please don't do this.

The individual investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. not regulators the regulators should stay out of how the public makes their trading decisions. Perhaps the regulators should look at Members of Congress that trade in insider information instead.

Please do not limit my ability in any way to purchase the funds I choose to invest in. I should not have to prove my acumen in investing in securities, including leveraged funds, if that is what I deem is appropriate for my investment style and/or need.

Keep the market free. Each investor needs to do their own evaluation and pick their own stocks. The Government needs to stay out of this. The Government's job is let the market operate freely without special regulations as to who can invest.
