It is my belief that even as a small investor I should have access to all options of trading and investing and that it is my responsibility to understand the risks involved. Regulations don't protect us and actually take away opportunities.

Do not restrict investment in leveraged or short etf funds. This is a BAD idea to restrict investors in this space. Stop over regulating me and my ability to make my own decisions

Do not regulation any body money it is ours not yours.

The ability to hedge one's risk,is paramount to an individuals financial well being.RBrumtrop

Another invasion of Americans personal freedom. Leveraged and inverse funds are publicly traded and have been approved
for the public to trade. I understand the risks and have an understanding of these entities. There is no need to impose any kind of regulations or added requirements to any tools I use in my investment strategies.
How about the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority employees look somewhere else to justify your taxpayer funded paycheck!!

In 2008, I lost my job,my house and my partner. I still have not recovered. If you recall, complex investments were at the heart of the 2008 financial crisis. Support our regulators and keep investments simple and transparent!!

Regulate market makers in regards to options not retail traders.

Why is the government so interested in what its citizen do with their own hard-earned capital? It is a disgrace we civilians must be held at the will of the government's decisions. Allow us to trade at our own will!

Thank you

You people should concentrate on regulating the markets so that corrupt politicians don't pocket all the cash. I am an investor in leverage funds, inverse index funds, and various short ETFs, some of which are risky. I am capable of deciding what to do with my own money. I am capable of assessing my risk tolerance. We the people don't need to be treated like babies. Some of my favorites are UVXY, SPXU, SOXS, TECL, SOXL, TQQQ, SQQQ, TECS. These funds allow me to have a broad investment portfolio.

I do not need the government to protect me from myself by imposing limits on my financial freedom. I am an adult American who has been investing for a long time. I know what I am doing. I have a 7000% return over the last 20 years. please take your nanny state and go elsewhere.
