I completely disagree with the imposed new regulations I shouldnt have to go through special hoops to invest in products. Leveraged products are important tools for my financial situation to achieve my goals and I should be allowed to invest in them with as much it as little as possible whenever I want.

This regulatory change further exacerbates financial disparity in access to investment vehicles based on high and lower income earners.

I vehemently oppose limitations on my ability to buy or sell leveraged and inverse funds. You should not restrict or prohibit a private person's ability to invest and to make personal financial decisions.These funds help me hedge my investments against inflationary risks.
