Please dont regulate leveraged accounts. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Investors should be able to buy instruments of their choosing. The restrictions on trading in the expert markets have already ruined pricing and liquidity on many equities at the expense of small investors. Please don't continue harming investors through restrictions. Leveraged funds have many useful purposes including limiting risk through hedging and avoiding use of margin loans.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. There are certain times when inverse mutual funds work well in my portfolio. Not having availability to these types of investments would force me to use futures to achieve my goals and protect my portfolio in turbulent times. We all know that futures are a much riskier investment than inverse mutual funds.

I want the freedom to choose my own investments without any restrictions. Thank you.

I oppose any regulations that limits my ability to invest in leveraged products

I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. As a private citizen I, not a regulator, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I don't feel I should have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I did the homework BEFORE investing in these public securities and understand the risk involved with leveraged and inverse funds.

Please protect my freedom to freely invest. I should not have to go through a special process to invest in leveraged, inverse or any funds. I alone want to decide what investments are right for me without interference from the government. thank you,

I don't need a babysitter. I have more confidence in my ability to make my own financial decisions than I have in any government oversight over my investments in leveraged and inverse funds.

Please do not further limit small investors' ability to trade leveraged and inverse funds. Especially in the turbulent market of the last three years, these funds have provided my small but growing IRA with both stability and enhanced returns. As a small investor, there is no other way I could do this.

This proposal is plain stupid...an attempt to destory free maket trading and giving control to Marxist burearocrats. Please don't restrict these types of funds.
