This is an utterly ridiculous regulation. How can ordinary young people such as myself am able to invest my hard earn money and a chance to become wealthy myself without all of these hurdles. If the general public cannot invest in public securities, then they should not even be considered "public" to begin with. Do away with this absurd regulation and allow everyone to invest.
If I want to short a stock, or use a regular or inverse ETF, that is my choice. Americans are supposed to be equal, and have to the same opportunities that the more wealthy have. A lot of leveraged funds provide tremendous opportunities for the active investor, and do exactly what they're meant to do. I don't need to attend university or work for Goldman Sachs to have access
Leveraged and inverse funds are not so complex that they require any special skills or knowledge to understand the subtilties of their character. Don't underestimate the intelligence of investors.

We need to decide if we want to invest. The government shouldn't be trying to act like it's my mother.
Individual private investors should have the right to invest unhindered in inverse and leveraged stock index funds. These funds facilitate methods of trading that can be used to manage market risk, and are easier to trade than options. Investors should have this method available for investing. Please do not restrict investors access to these types of funds.
I am already anti-capitalist. I despise the system which rewards not merit, but inherited wealth. I cannot possibly fathom why you would want to make my job so much easier- you understand that by depriving average citizens of the right to invest, you are pushing them directly into my waiting arms? I know I shouldnt interrupt my enemy while he is making a mistake, but this? I almost pity the short
This is the United States of America. I have the right to make my own decisions, and I should have the same rights as everyone else. Who is the federal government to judge the capacity of others and decide who is or is not worthy of making their own choices ... you are NOT GOD!
