Greetings, I am a retail investor and generally choose my own picks. A very useful tool that I use for shorter timeframe trades are inverse and leveraged offerings. Provided your not stupid, I see no problem using these instruments. These trades are my choice. Please don't try to protect me from myself and assuming that I'm too dumb to participate in these offerings.

let us invest and trade, some of us are following newsletters for years. we don't want to now be limited. these investments let us put on a hedge and stay long. don't make us take some test, it is too limiting. free country to learn and invest and we want different ways to balance everything out

Please do not place restrictions on leveraged and inverse ETF's. These funds are an important tool to hedge against market pullbacks, and have been successful for years.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST! I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me - nor does anyone else.

Hello, I was saddened to hear the news of regulations that are being considered. I understand where for the concern about protecting individual investors by restricting these assets from being sold. However, I would like to bring up two things that I think are overlooked - 1. The internet 2. Technology The internet now allows investors to easily gather information about these products and become aware on the risks. There is an abundance of information about all these assets that individuals have easy access to obtaining.

These products help me hedge against volatility. Why would you remove them?

I do not think this is fair for low networth investor who may not have opportunity to earn high return vs high networth investors. It is discrimination because public investment should be available to everyone without restriction or requirement to obtain any special training. You can give notice of high risk speculation but cannot regulate public investments.

It's my money, I would like to invest however I see fit. Who [REDACTED] are you to tell me what I am capable of understanding, or demand that I have a certain net worth to buy publicly traded securities?!

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, and I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, and I use leverage and inverse funds to hedge investments.
