I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST!
I don't believe small individual investors should be limited from investing utilizing leverage as long as they accept the risks. These inverse and leverage funds allow small investors to reduce the slippage inherent in trading options. The assumption that a small investor is a stupid investor is elitist and insulting.
I oppose the type of regulation being proposed to access leveraged investments. I note that investors such as me have to submit a self assessment of their capabilities before they can open a trading account with brokers.
I also note that no such restrictions or limits on leveraged instruments are placed on the so called institutional investors and companies. I demand a level playing field. Failing which I reserve my right to sue and protest at appropriate forums.
Please drop any plans to restrict access to leveraged instruments.

Dont prohibit me from investing.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies, they help me seek enhanced returns,
and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.
Are you so afraid of Crypto currency because it threatens your power to regulate? It's our money we can do whatever we want with it and we want to invest in Crypto as well as other funds and assets.

I wish to maintain my freedom to continue investing in various products and shares in the stock market which help me build an excellent portfolio, amongst them are the ETF's which is why I oppose the restrictions to my rights and freedom to invest.
If you decide to restrict investing in leveraged funds, you will deny me my right to invest my money in investments to give me a great rate of return on my money. We demand the right to invest our money as we see fit without government interference! That is communism! I have had a great experience in resulting outstanding returns through an investment in a leveraged ETF! Don't deny me this opportunity in the future!
I should be able to invest my savings how I like in inverse and leveraged ETFs. This allows me to hedge my investments against a major correction.
I don't understand what you're doing. Why do I have to have a high net worth to invest in the markets. Is this reserved for Bill Gates and Elon Musk only?
