While I understand the need to be sure investors understand the products they are using, I think it is important not to constrain investment opportunities heavily. So, I ask you to consider carefully any new constraints on existing investment opportunities (such as leveraged investment products) with that in mind. Allow wider access rather than more limited access. Establish minimum safeguards rather than maximum safeguards.

I don't think that you have any right to limit the way I handle my finances whether I have the knowledge or not We should have the right to invest our money in any way we like and feel is in our best interest

don't do it!

There's absolutely no reason to put restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. All investments carry risk, and those risks in this instance are NOT somehow hidden from the investor. If you start implementing restrictions, where does it end? Because the very same argument for them here, can be used elsewhere as well. Please do not take investing down that dead end road.

Please dont impose this arcane help to the investor. We dont need your help. There are too many refs already.

Nanny state tactics that determine how, when and why I invest need to stop. I have gotten by so far without government oversight and can continue to do so very well.

Hello, Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the high net worth individuals. Despite their risk, Leveraged and inverse funds enhance returns when they are used as a limited part of my overall portfolio. It isnt right to only offer them to the rich under the assumption that they can afford to lose more. We, with less money care just as much about our money but want a fair chance as well. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to protect against a choppy and volatile market.

Rule #22-08 is a violation and restriction to OUR FREEDOM! No special tests are required! We are free adults, and must be treated as such! And WHY are "Unelected Bureaucrats" writing and passing laws limiting our RIGHTS?

we dont need this extra protections from the government, we can manage our own money, thank you

I have been investing - on my own using my own methods - for over 30 years and don't need the Government to tell me how to do it. I fully understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds and us them diligently as part of a balanced portfolio. I do not need additional regulation imposed on me. In fact, it is my current positions in leveraged inverse funds that is protecting me in the market right now! I'm short and making the money that off-sets the loses from the stogy investments you are trying to limit me too.
