I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I would like to tell regulators that I do not need these measures imposed on you. My leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and help
I, and only I should be able to choose which investments are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process to invest in leveraged or inverse ETF's. There is no more risk to these investments than multitudes of individual stocks, which I have witnessed in real time over many years. I have built my entire investing strategy and process around these funds. Please do not
We not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us and our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. We shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.

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. While I've utilized these products for years, they are not my complete strategy, but a
Please regulate the manipulation of our free market system. Companies should not be able to bypass rules set in place following 2008 or we risk another black swan event and lack of trust in our financial system.
I think it is important for investors to know what they are getting into. But more importantly, you have to let people learn from their mistakes and their successes without micro-managing every possible risk. There are all ready far too many regulatory hurdles and hoops that choke the ability to do almost anything and people still make dumb choices. Please do not restrict the ability of everyday
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Public investments should be available to everybody, not just the 1% and other elites. I am an adult and am capable of understanding the risks involved with investments, and should be free to place my money in investments if I so choose - there should be no special hoops or processes like passing a financial literacy test
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.
