I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use them to protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns. I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

The last thing we small investors need are more obstacles to further limit what is available to us relative to the privileged and affluent. These regulations make an already laughably uneven playing field nearly impossible to manage.

What you will have are sitting ducks that can only move forward pitted against sophisticated investors that can move 360 degrees. Stop the madness.

People should be able to buy leveraged products in our free market. Individuals are capable of assessing risk and reward. I use these products as a limited portion of my portfolio. My investment strategy will be greatly affected if I'm no longer able to use leveraged products.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST,

You should look at the structure, rather than impose restrictions.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is ridiculous overreach.

Dear Regulators:

I have been an investor in various markets for more than 50 years with experience ranging from stocks, bonds, and mutual funds to ETFs, commodities, real estate, complex financial instruments, and, most recently, crowd funding offerings. I understand, accept, and limit the risks of my investments. I should not be limited in my investments or be required to take creative means to legally circumvent restrictions, just because others fail to educate themselves about their investments and risks.

There should be no restrictions on who can buy leveraged funds. Let the free market work.

Regulators have no business in how we make investments for ourselves

Please stop this from passing.
