I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I am against SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I use covered call options on inverse and leveraged funds to make money, regardless of the market direction. Yes, there are risks, but they are risks I understand and am willing to take. This is a small portion of my investment portfolio, and I should be able to use it as I wish without interference.

I am not a major investor but have some funds that I actively manage which I am hoping to use for my kids college fund. I need the flexibility to decide if I want to be long, short, leveraged or not on my positions. I am not a high new worth individual or professional investor but I understand the risks I take in going short on a position or having a leveraged position. Largely these positions are a hedge against other assets we have. I am not interested in further federal regulation or limitations on my decisions. Please do not move the SEC rule S7-24-15 ahead.

Markets need to be free and available for all. Adding disclaimers is fine but disallowing or restricting to trade is not a good sign of free market economy.

I have enjoyed in investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Some of them are necessities as hedging for tumultuous markets. This should be allowed freely for retail investors.

Do not restrict my financial dealings and investments.

As a relatively sophisticated inventor, well versed on the risks of investments, I see this rule does not benefit me - but restricts the way I can invest

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I 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. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test. I am capable of understanding the investments considered and their risks.

Once again, people in government want to do what's best for you. Our elected representatives want to be able to control how I trade leveraged funds. I don't get to chose how my elected representatives trade, yet I am consistently taken advantage of by my elected representatives. Think about how ridiculous it is to only let people of very high net worth trade leveraged funds in their brokerage accounts. This is a free country per say, I make my own financial choices, not my elected representatives. Clearly this is just another sign that my elected officials are completely out of control.

The fact that individuals can gamble and can't invest is ridiculous and sickening. Thousands struggle with gambling addiction and yet casinos are everywhere. Yet honest, logical individuals cannot invest in the way they see fit. Passing this regulation would be a disgrace and harmful for those like me trying to beat inflation which this country has created and burdened it's citizens with.
