Is this not a free country? I should be able to choose what investments are suitable for my portfolio. Why should this investment only be reserved for a chosen few? I shouldn't have to prove myself to regulators that I am perfectly capable of making investment decisions that are in my best interest.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds are important to my investment strategies and represent a very limited part of my overall financial portfolio. These funds help me hedge my investments.

The regulations are guaranteed to harm investors. Investors do not need protection from themselves. Investors who invest in “complex” financial instruments are individuals who understand the relationship between risk and reward.

I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles.
