I am a retired business owner and a 30+ year stock market investor. I am very capable of investing in Leveraged and Inverse Funds. I should not have to have a minimum net worth or go through any special tests before being able to invest in public securities. Please do not regulate or put limitations on Leveraged or Inverse Funds. This will greatly reduce my ability to reach my financial goals to
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.
I also should not have to take a test or go through ay other special process as I have a very good financial advisor who makes sure I understand my investments and any risks involved. I don't need these measures imposed on me.

There is no reason to impose this restriction. Investors are already accepting risks when opening an account and imposing harsher restrictions only serves to make average investors have bigger hurdles to cross when it comes to returns over a long period of time.

I oppose adding restrictions to trading financial products deemed "complex" because people are ultimately responsible for managing their own money.

Comments: As a Financial advisor and investor of 32+ years, I strongly believe having the ability to purchase 1x inverse ETF's is a valuable short term hedging tool.

With that said, knowledgeable investors should have access to
I am opposed to restrictions on my right to invest in any public securities.
I have long made use of closed-end funds and own at some now. I can't imagine that such securities are considered riskier investments than stocks.
I have purchased leveraged and inverse funds on my own in the past as part of my own investment strategies. Currently, a financial advisor I use purchases such
Hello, I would encourage all involved to restrict regulation on these types of investments by stopping access. Use other tools. I've invested for 25yrs on my own and made money. I have also lost. I learned the most by losing and this experience motivates me to do research. Impose educational notices and let AI bots do the work. I will be able to secure financial options for
In no way should regulation restrict my rights to invest as I see fit. Restrictions should only ever be placed upon those in public office who gain insider information. As an engineer, I am more than capable of making my own financial decisions regarding investing in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I do not need the government to tell me how to think, vote, invest, or
I clicked over to a website that does not support the proposed rule, but I *DO* agree with the limitations being proposed. I was Series 7 and Series 63 licensed, and have seen many people maneuvered into investments that neither they nor their financial advisors understood. The results can be devastating. I think it might be better to do a two-pronged approach with limits on the types of
If I have the money to buy shares then I deserve the right to buy it. Besides its the stock market has people buying and selling all the time without any discrimination.
