How are you going to restrict a mans ability to participate. Leave it for only the rich? Disgusting

I want to retain my right to invest in this type of investment!

Leveraged and inverse funds should be allowed as public investments, without the need for special training or high-net worth accreditation. I use them as a hedging strategy to reduce risk and exposure to market volatility. My investments would have increased chance of loss if these funds were not available.

Please oppose this

How about you let me decide my risk tolerance and stop meddling in markets. We dont need or want your help.

Greetings,

I fear that this campaign sets bad precedent on setting limitations regarding individuals' abilities to participate in the free market. If there is an issue regarding investor safety, then the best course of action is education, rather than restrictions/bans. The SEC shouldn't concern itself with overly coddling investors. I appreciate your time and consideration by turning towards a democratic forum to assist in resolving this issue.

Stop trying to control the people by limiting their ability to freely invest monies in any and all stocks, bonds and securities Stop [REDACTED] with people and taking away their ability to support themselves and their families.

I oppose this legislation. I'm perfectly well qualified to make my own decisions regarding investment strategies, and it is not the place of government to regulate my investment decisions.

Leveraged funds are critical to my investment strategies. Yes, I have lost money at times, but I understand the risks. A risk I can't plan for is regulation taking away my ability to make the right choice for me and my investment goals and risk appetite.

I think every investor should be allowed to invest in the securities they wish to -- regardless of their net worth.

Greetings,

I am writing to inform you that I oppose any restriction on leveraged investing aside from warnings that they are not to be held long term. I believe that they are an invaluable tool that everyone should have access to, but not everyone should use. I am well informed and have determined that, considering my unique, highly risk-tolerant financial position, that these tools have great use in my portfolio, despite having knowledge that I could lose the entire investment. People in a free country have a right to risk.
