I would like to express my SUPPORT for additional regulation of trading leveraged and inverse funds. I use leveraged ETFs quite heavily in my own financial planning, and I don't see any reason not to require investors to pass a simple test to use these products. They are a great tool for hedging, but they can be very riskyand I believe some measures should be taken to make sure that they are used by people who can either demonstrate a basic understanding of those risks or who can demonstrate that they can afford to lose what they are investing.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I don't believe the US government should hamper me in my decisions regarding investments. Leveraged and inverse funds are important tools in my investment strategies

Please stop limiting my ability to purchase ANY investment I would like. If a so called accredited investor or law maker can buy a investment then so should anyone be able. Fair is fair. Protecting the retail investor should not mean limiting the retail investor.
