a. Public investments should be able to all of the public, not just the privileged
b. I am well capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds together with the risks and certainly don't need special tests / process to pass before we can invest in these types of securities.

I should have the right to determine what, if any, investments are right for me. I do not want "big brother" treating me like a child and regulating what currencies, if any, that I choose.

It's my money and I should be able to invest it how I desire! All investments are at risk!
