Offer education on inverse and lev. Funds. You will have done your job without oversteping.

I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my investments as well as in order to seek better returns. They are a limited portion of my portfolio. I have read all the appropriate documents related to their risks and I have accepted such risk in a responsible manner. Any regulation on such funds would negatively affect me by restricting my investment opportunities and options. Such opportunities should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I have invested many years and money to learn about short term and leverage investing. Please at the very least, people who are already investing this way should have the opportunity to be grandfathered in if this great way of investing is to be taking away. My models are based on this form of investing. Overall, the market looks bullish for the first two weeks of May 2022.

Let us keep our right to invest.

Dear regulators,

I would like to make my opinion known regarding the restrictions for buying leveraged and inverse funds and dozens of other popular investments deemed to be complex.

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for myself.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important to my investment strategy because I don't know how to trade options or short the stocks. It's easy to understand and easy to buy and sell. Please don't take it away from us. Otherwise I will have harder time to accumulate enough savings for my retirement. Please leave it alone, there are tremendous reasons for leverage and inverse ETFs to exist in the financial market.

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.

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.
