I do not agree with proposed restrictions on leveraged or inverse funds for individual investors. There is not reason to think that average investors can not use these funds responsibly. I use leveraged funds in modest amounts in my portfolio to take advantage of certain bull market conditions. I have been using these products satisfactorily for several years. I also have on some rare occasions used inverse products. Please do not limit us ordinary investors from using these useful products.

Cryptocurrency is the future and I should be able to direct my money and invest for my retirement and future growth.

I have been trading complex products for 12 years, I am profitable and dont need you interfering in my financial future. If you wanna make me sign a piece of paper saying that I have read about the dangers, well, that is probably a good idea for the general public. So I dont mind. But do not force me into cool down., When I have complex options to protect me from any losing positions, your interference could ruin or totally destroy my account. Make education available, but keep your hands off my buy and sell buttons, please.

Why is it that regulators want to take so much time taking away the ability for the average person to actually use a product that can let them risk and succeed toward more financial freedom and security. Products such as leveraged ETF's and Futures are complex but the individuals that invest know the risks and should have the same RIGHT to invest as any other fat cat on wall street that institution bankers and regulators will gladly bail out instead giving us all equal and fair ability.

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. We shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. Explain that We are capable of understanding cryptocurrency funds such as BITO and their risks. We do not need these measures imposed on us.

This new rule will surely drive small broker dealers to leave. The regulatory burden has become too much. This new rule is impossible for the small broker dealers to manage as we don't have the resources. The regulations would harm investors by denying them access to a broad range of valuable investments that could help them achieve long-term financial goals.

I oppose the proposed restrictions to prevent me to buy leveraged and inverse funds.

No one has the Dr right to say what second osns

As long as it is regulated, it should be available. Investors dont have to invest, but those who should be allowed

While it is a worthy objective to protect prospective investors from difficult to perceive or understand risks of investments having greater than usual complexity, the history of regulations limiting certain investment categories to investors of higher net worth or sophistication has largely served to deny the broader population access to higher potential returns that the favored might enjoy. Liberalizations such as Regulation Crowdfunding have proved a great success at broadening access to opportunities. New regulations going in the other direction seem like an inadvisable move backwards.
