I partially trade with a US broker in order to have more access and freedom in my choice of investment vehicles. Making 'complex' funds only freely accessible to the elite and exorbitantly rich (like in the EU), whilst creating more and more hoops for regular people, will only limit opportunities for regular smaller investors. I should have the freedom to do with my own money as I wish, without facing discrimination based on socio-economic status. Why can we, without demonstrating financial literacy, sign for a credit card with a 16% interest rate?

Please keep the democratization of investing as is. This has traditionally been reserved for the ultra-wealthy, with everyday citizens becoming more educated and securing wealth. Regulators should not change the laws in a way that only benefits the elite. The proposed changes are clearly meant to keep out a large portion of the population from investing opportunities, while decreasing competition for top-tier investors.

As an investor I oppose restrictions on usage of publicly traded leveraged and inverse ETFs. I use them in limited quantities when I see an opportunity to boost my returns in the short term. I do understand the heightened risks these instruments carry, and I take full responsibility for possible losses that I may incur when using these types of ETFs. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important tools in my investment strategies and I do not feel like I need any additional regulations for those.
