I should be able to choose my investments and apply leverage when needed despite my net worth or status. I am perfect capable of understanding the risks of leveraged funds. The risks are very high, but no worse or better than the risks of investing in other highly volatile securities like individual stocks and commodity etfs. Investing in Facebook would've lost me 50% of my investment in one day.

I think a lot of this regulation is being generated to disenfranchise the retail investor. Please allow "regular" working people to continue diversifying their portfolios with products that may seem too "complex" for them to understand. Putting burdensome and elitist restrictions on financial products that empower the middle class is a form of slavery that is not representative of this progressive day and age. My investments across brokerages and platforms, as a middle-class person of color, is integral to my portfolio growth as well as my personal growth.

I have spent the last year in classes three times a week to learn how to invest in stocks and trade options, hundreds of hours. I have the right and the knowledge to invest in any instruments I choose which should be my decision without interference with regulators. I have been using leveraged and inverse funds over the last year. I continue to learn and improve my skills. I am responsible for my own results. No one else.

Please dont make massive regulatory changes that harms individual investor access to affordable managed funds.

I do not want my rights to invest as I choose to be limited or further regulated.

Not necessary.

As long as the investment vehicles are legal, legit, and risk fully documented, I see no issues in letting a typical / average investor make their conscious investment decision. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. As an average investor (Im currently using/ investing in proshare shorts/long 3x etf), I find most information available online and typical financial professionals discussed nothing more than holding long term into the future; If you dont like what you own, sell it, simple right!

I- 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.

Please do not pass new regulations that will inhibit my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. They provide a less risky alternative to options and futures and are an important part of many small investors' overall investment strategy.

I understand the appeal to expand the nanny-state. So many people out there want to blame others for their poor decisions. I believe that as a functioning adult we make choices and we live with the consequences of those choices. Always looking for the government to bail them out or to create rules that permit those making the poor decisions to see redress when redress should not be allowed, robs from them the life lesson learned by poor decisions. Please do not restrict my ability to manage my own investments.
