Dear Regulators: I have been investing for over 50 years. I have traded stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, options, and currencies. I do not want regulations telling me what I can or cannot invest in. I am responsible for my choices and the resulting consequences.

Taking away individual investor RIGHTS to invest in leveraged & Inverse funds is just another ball & chain on individuals in their strides towards financial independence from Government.
