I should be able to choose my publicly offered investments or pay an advisor to do so on my behalf without a bunch of unnecessary regulations and requirements. Im sure if the usual basic information regarding investment pros/cons and risks would suffice in making financial decisions.
While the financial industry does need strong oversight, this rule is too restrictive. I oppose this rule and feel like it will result in fewer alternatives for investors. The ability to use leverage can certainly increase or decrease returns substantially. I want the ability to take advantage of leverage.
Having worked in the Financial World for 28 years - what i have learned is that we tend to make rules to benefit us and rich. There are times when the average person can invest and play in the real world. Please let people compete, education is the key not over-regulation
The elements of your proposed legislation is unfair, arbitrary and capricious.
I opposed it on the grounds that it is discriminatory, and an intrusive overreach of a regulatory agency.
I believe that if banks and large investing institutions such as corporations can invest in a financial instrument then so should a free American have that right as well.

WE SHOULD NEVER BE IMPOSED THE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS BEING PRESENTED WHEN IT IS OUR MONEY, OUR INVESTMENTS. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AS WELL AS RESEARCH TOPICS SUCH AS THESE TO UNDERSTAND AND MAKE EDUCATED, QUALIFIED, INTELLIGENT DECISIONS. STOP PUTTING YOURSELVES IN AS THE 'EXPERTS' BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT.
I should have the right to determine my own financial future and invest in any lawful endeavor without government restrictions. The investment opportunities should be available to every person without any conditions. There should be no process or test administered by regulators to determine an individual's investing competence.
Do not restrict me from investing in triple-leveraged ETFs. I'm an older millennial who got involved in investing later in life because financial literacy wasn't being taught in schools. I need triple leveraged investment products to catch up with my investing goals on retirement.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Investments should be fair to everyone not only the one who can pass test. Public investments should be available to all. If this got limited, public will be in disadvantage on getting to financial freedom with limited options.
I find that having access to leveraged and inverse etfs provides balanced hedging in my portfolio, allowing me to retain a mostly-cash position for long-term financial security while also participating in market movements. Please don't add hurdles to use of leveraged and inverse ETFs
I don't need or want any additional regulation from the government on investing. Your efforts to "protect me or other investors" from the financial industry is a waste of time and money. It only results in the erosion of return on my investments because the cost of regulatory compliance is so much.
