I am writing to express my opposition to the proposal to increase regulation on certain investments, applying a government-imposed "test" on my ability to comprehend my own investments or my ability to make them.
There are already ample warnings associated with these investments. I have demonstrated my ability to earn my money. I believe I should also have the right to decide how to invest it, without excessive regulatory oversight or restriction.

We should be able to find and invest in what is best for us and our families. We shouldn't have to go through any type of special process Or take any type of test before being able to invest in what we feel is best . We are fully capable of understanding our investments and the risks involved. This is supposed to be a free county to choose what is in the best interest of us and our families. Please stay out of out business. The people in DC need to sell all their stocks and not be allowed to purchase any. This is how they have been able to get rich all these years.

I see restricting access to the different types of investment products as overbearing and manipulative of market forces.

The use of inverse and leverage funds are an important market access for all people in the country, for a variety of purposes. They should not be a core part of a portfolio, but do serve a place in building a well-balanced financial plan.

We have been using some of these funds for years and are more that qualified to make informed decisions on what we invest in. We can make our decisions as we see proper without having to jump through more hoops.

To whom it may concern:

You have zero business telling any adult citizen where and with whom they can invest their own earned, and taxed income... period!

I am an investor in leveraged etf funds for the higher potential returns. I accept the risks and volatility associated with these funds. I make informed decisions and set limits on how much exposure I assume. The funds provide a vehicle for me to explore leverage investments that is managed by professionals. It is unlikely that I can do better on as a individual. I think that restricting or eliminating these funds are short sighted and not good policy.

Im an adult. Let me invest how I wish.

What I do with my after-tax money is NONE of your business !!

We live in a republic in the United States, not in a dictatorship. Our US Constitution protects our God given rights to choose everything about what is best for our families. Our creator did not give anyone dominion, people did so (and Im using that term loosely) to serve their own best interests.

STOP serving your own interests!

Do not limit investors ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. These are a tool just like any other tool. Investors know their risk and reward and chose to buy or not. If you know what is best for investors than you should quit your job and trade for your living since you know better than everyone else.
