I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investment(s) that are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process, like passing a test, before I can invest in public securities. I am 100% capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds, as well as the risks that come with investing in them. I do not need a regulator determining whether or not I understand my own personal risk. The securities/funds in question are important to my investing strategies. What is happening to free and open markets?
