I should decide where to invest my money. So should everybody else
As an American and a vetran U S Army officer, I oppose restrictions to my right to invest for myself. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. 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. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
I do not need these measures imposed on me!
Public investments should be available to all of the public. I have been using leverage/invest products for 6 years and it is a crucial part of my investment strategy.

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
We should all have the freedom and ability to pursue our own investment decisions to the best of our ability. Leveraged and Inverse funds are not the boogeymen.
I do not recommend adding additional restrictions.
I am dissapointed to lear about it, I should be able to make investment decision myself not any regulator. This is totally against the principle of freedom of choice.
I oppose putting restrictions on investing in inverse or leveraged ETFs. Just like any stock investment, I clearly understand the the risks involved and under certain market conditions, I need a hedge to decrease my risk. I am the best person to be making my own investment decisions and not relying on others to be making choices for me that are not in my best interest. You should also not be imposing new limitations on something that I've already been using for a number of years.
Get your "Nanny State" hands off my investment choices. You DON'T know better than me. I control my destiny - not you.
Limiting my ability to invest in a diversified ETF prohibits me from building wealth. Free access to markets is a core tenant of capitalism and America.
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest my own monies in any of the publicly traded securities which I choose. I do my research and if a security fits my investment and risk criteria, then I should be able to invest in it. Leveraged and inverse funds can be an important part of an individual's investment portfolio, providing enhanced potential returns without the risk of margin trading.
