do NOT enact any new laws that would restrict my rights to purchase leveraged and inverse funds and etfs. that should be an investor right. i am a normal informed investor, and i research my investment decisions carefully before i make any investment decisions. you should NOT be trying to restrict my investor rights.
It is absurd that companies would go through all the trouble of creating and publishing prospectus documents and abiding by all regulations only to have regulators deem them unsafe or unsuitable for investors. Please do not limit the my ability to trade. I want to make my own informed decisions and not have them made for me.
The individual investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. not regulators the regulators should stay out of how the public makes their trading decisions. Perhaps the regulators should look at Members of Congress that trade in insider information
I would like you to leave leveraged ETFs alone. I should be able to choose to have a risky security in my portfolio. At WORST, I would be willing to accept a qualification process based on risk tolerance, but not amount of income or assets, or experience. I,e a poor but educated and informed aggressive investor should not be prohibited.
Thank you

Please do not restrict investor access to complex and leveraged products. Yes, there ought to be disclosures of risks and transparency around fund mechanisms. In other words: informed consent. But barring access is undemocratic and wrong. Many leveraged funds are useful tools for investors who lack the requisite capital to use futures to achieve leverage.
