I am appalled that the SEC thinks they have the right to tell how and when is acceptable for me to invest in any instrument. I am a frequent investor in leveraged and inverse funds and demand that you take no actions that infringe in any way on my ability to continue to do so.

I strongly believe I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Additionally, I should not have to take a test to enjoy the opportunity to invest.
I as an investor who chose to do my own research on a variety of public securities after seeking the advice of a financial advisor and broker am confident in my own abilities and do not require coddling and layers of testing and restrictions on my portfolio.
Its very strange in the timing of all this potential regulation, as the stock market is crumbling around us.

OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST
The ability to trade inverse and leveraged investment vehicles as well as closed end funds, volatility assets, stocks bonds and options are all equally important to me personally! Regulators should not be able to determine what I as a long term sophisticated investor should be able to trade. There is no reason to make me subject to any special process or approvals, I have been using them for a
I have been responsibly using leveraged and inverse funds for over 10 years and they have helped me prevent higher losses in market down turns. I have invested wisely for almost 30 years to qualify for this ability while never having an AGI over 100k. Please keep them available.
