Hello, I am writing to voice my objection to proposed legislation which seeks to restrict our right to invest in inverse and leveraged funds.
These types of investments are a very important part of our investment strategy and help in reducing overall portfolio risk, when used appropriately, like most other investment classes, including options.

Leveraged and inverse funds should be made available to all investors not just the rich. Please keep public securities public.

Good morning,
I have been using leveraged and inverse funds for years. I am totally against the regulations you are considering to limit the use of these investment funds.

I use my own money for my public investments. So I should be able to choose the public investments that align with my financial planning and risk level. I therefore oppose all restrictions to my freedom.

We all need a license to drive, but that's because other people's lives depend upon our driving skills. Investing is different, because only I get affected by my investment decisions, and others can't get adversely affected. Therefore, there should be no licensing for investment of leveraged funds.

Thank you for taking my opinion into account.

Current regulations mandate adequate disclosures regarding the nature and risk investment products including leveraged funds. I do not need or want any further government intrusion into my business. Desist from your meddling and focus on violations of existing regulation. I do not need or want further infringement on my investment choices.

This is a restriction of my Business decision and I strongly oppose it

Please respect my freedom to make my own investment decisions. You do not know me, and have no basis to demand that I prove to you my right, or ability, to make my own decisions.
Leveraged and inverse funds give me the ability to hedge or use other strategies that I believe will help me achieve my long-term goals.
If I think I want your help, I will ask for it. Until then, please leave my freedom alone.

Lets replace all financial terms with fast food terms. To eat at fast food restaurants you must: Pass a health quiz Demonstrate a low BMI Receive a note from your doctor Attest to reading health journals Go through cooling off periods during which you cant eat You would never support a regulation like this. Let people make their own informed decisions you would say. Great, now apply this to finances and let us make our own choices.

To whom it may concern, please use your time on other issues and allow the common investor to have this opportunity. Thanks

I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest and the rules should apply to all, not just the wealthy or privileged.
I 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.
