Hi, I'm just righting to say that I oppose further regulation on leveraged funds. I don't want to have to demonstrate a certain amount of wealth or regulated investment knowledge. I do use these funds as part of my own investing strategy. I know what I'm doing when I buy these and I know there is risk involved. Don't regulate this and discriminate against normal income people

I not regulators ,should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding my investments and their risks.
