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 shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. Tell regulators you do not
need these measures imposed on you.

leave it up to the investor

[REDACTED] I am not a professional trader or have thousands of dollars available for trading. Limiting me or forcing me to do something is not an organization I want to continue investing. Maybe I should just sell? I want to choose my own investments and not be controlled or have restrictions. Enough said!

I am opposed to restrictions on my right to invest using leveraged and inverse funds. I am an old guy who has only become an active investor in the last couple years. I have a modest portfolio. The big guys have many advantages in the markets. I have found that using leveraged and inverse funds enhances my opportunities. The considerable risks are easy to understand but with careful use the losses are manageable. Being able to hedge against the market moving down has been a real help lately. I prefer these ETF's to options which have a habit of expiring worthless.

As a small investor leveraged and inverse funds help me safeguard my investments.
