Don't do anything! This is freedom country

I strongly oppose any changes to regulation as it relates to leveraged products. They offer a funding mechanism for people who cant save. For an aggressive investor, they are much safer that concentrating assets in one stock, with similar volatility and results.

I firmly believe that investors should have the option of investing in any securities we choose. The onus of understanding market risks, how to invest, and what we invest in should be on the investor.

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'd like to decide for myself and my family what is suitable investment. leveraged funds are less than 10% of my portfolio and they play an integral part in weathering market volatility. Leveraged funds provide me with access to hedging strategies that other wise would take a lot of time and effort to accomplish through options. Do not take away that from investors

I've been using various leveraged and inverse funds for 20+ years. They are an integral part of my overall investment portfolio. I already had to convince Fidelity Investments that I understood these types of trading vehicles by reading, educating myself and signing a consent form. And they periodically (every other year or so) request that I sign the consent forms again. And I certainly don't need to recertify again, according to the government's criteria, that I know what I'm doing.

The regulators should not limit individual investors' access to purchase leveraged products and options. These should not be made a Wall Street privilege, furthering the divide between the general public and the Wall Street. I keep some complex products in my portfolio to diversify my holdings and to earn profits quickly.

Its critical that every investor have access to these types of instruments to protect our accounts. Restricting investment in these instruments will further handicap the market for smaller retail investors and skew the dominance larger accounts can have in swaying the markets.

All investors are made aware of the high risks and fees associated with these levered and inverse products, so they are not being manipulated or swindled. Restricting retail accounts from these investments would unfairly harm the retail accounts this proposal seeks to protect.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I oppose any restrictions to my right or ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, or other popular investments deemed to be complex. As an investor, one should understand the risk with any form of investments and have the rights to select all available public assets to invest in. Thank you.

I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Regulators should not be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family and I. These should be available to everyone, not only the privileged. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my investment strategies and help hedge my investments and can provide greater returns.
