I should be able to choose any public investment, without regulators controlling my ability to invest! Restricting investment opportunities, for only the privileged and already high net worth individuals is entirely unfair and does not bode well for our free market.
If an investor is capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds they should be allowed to invest as they wish and take on
Dear Sirs: I understand you are considering regulations to restrict the vast majority of investors from investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Quite simply, stop this effort right now. I don't need someone in Washington to "protect" me from these types of Investments. I research all my investments and I'm well aware of the risks entailed in these types of
Afternoon,
I was recently notified about some potential regulation that may impact the ability for ordinary people to invest in complex investments, particularly leveraged funds.

I should not need anybodys permission to invest in public mutual funds. The leveraged inverse funds are an important part of my hedging program against market losses during volatile markets.
There is no viable reason to restrict access to inverse or leveraged funds from the public. Having been investing my own retirement funds for 20 years I well understand the risks involved. They are an appropriate part of a well balanced portfolio. Hedging and being able to take some advantage of downtrends must not be restricted to professionals and the super wealthy. Anyone with the willingness
