I have been investing my own money from my self owned business for 50 years. I understand that these and all investments carry a risk and it is my responsibility to investigate the risk and judge what part of my assets I am able to risk. To limit my ability to invest in all products, including leveraged and inverse funds, also limits my ability to participate in the gains, when available. These
I strongly opposed restrictions to my right of investing the way I want. All public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I know my investment portfolio and know how to manage the risk, I do not need these measures to impose upon me.
Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies, and I fully understand leveraged funds and their risks. In
Hello,
Everyone should be free to invest and take risks. I'm all for full disclosure. For example, disclose Point by point:
1, These are high risk investments.

Limiting choices for active investors, especially leveraged instruments like options, futures and leveraged ETFs, is quite non American, and a sure fire way to create significant funds outflowing the markets. Allow investors and traders to make their own choices, based on their individual risk tolerance and willingness to diversify as they see fit. Contrary to common belief, leveraged instruments

I oppose any burdensome regulation on leveraged funds. I have no objection if you want to require potential investors to read information about a fund's risk and pass a test based on that reading before allowing the investor to invest in a high-risk fund.

We believe in free markets and grown people does not have to be babysit. As an investor if I loose money or gain is only my responsibility and I understand that.
