I have been using inverse and leveraged funds for at least 15 years, typically as hedges during periods of market decline or high volitality. I invested our portfolio exclusively in stocks for over 15 years on my own, and even though Im now old enough (74) to be mostly invested in funds instead of stocks, I still use inverse and leveraged funds to meet my long term investment goals. Im am strongly of the opinion that individuals should invest intelligently, understanding risk.

it's time to stop the dictators trying to take over all our God given rights

It is not a regulators job to determine what I can and cannot invest in. It is a regulators job to make sure that crooks aren't selling fraudulent investments. A person should always be allowed to do whatever they wish with their own money, and they shouldn't be overly taxed on the money they have made for themselves.

Hello, I Andrew Hines believe I should be allowed to invest in any ETF, reverse fund, or any publicly traded company on my own free will. I believe anyone who puts their money in the market understands the risks involved including loss of funds. There is no such thing as a safe market especially during these times. The money I earned should be allowed to be used in whatever legal means I choose.

Stop over regulation of investments. This investment is public and should be available to the public!

That is a bad rule. investors should reject this

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I don't want to be restricted in my investment portfolio.

An individual not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for himself and his family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process, like passing a test, before I can invest in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. Please, Do Not allow this proposed change.

We 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.

Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the financially privileged
