I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest

It should be the investor's choice to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. These are important investment vehicles that should be researched by the investor just as any other investment choice they consider. Limiting or restricting an investor's investment options restricts their ability to do what is in their best interest. Many everyday investors use these investment options regularly with much success.

I think this regulation is both unfair and unnecessary. It is unfair because it implies a change in the rules of the game. Investors who have been implementing strategies using leveraged products will be unable to fully execute their strategies. This is my case, and Im a long term investor.

This is a form of suppression not regulator just call it what it is instead of hiding. We all should be able to choose what public investments are right for us and are family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the rich and privileged. No one needs to pass any special test to invest, you are just keeping lower income people down.

I believe that most people who do choose to invest in these funds are aware of the risks and do their own homework before they start investing. While I do believe that offering education on the risks, as well as risk mitigation strategies, would be beneficial for traders, I do not believe that extra layers of bureaucracy and testing will create better or safer traders, and will simply reduce the activity on such funds unnecessarily. This is to no one's benefit.

I disagree, there should be no special process required to purchase leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are effective hedges and important vehicles for portfolio management. Additional regulation on inhibits investors and does not benefit the public. I am not interested in these measures being imposed on me.

Do not pass this

Do not restrict our ability to invest in leveraged financial products.

Please don't limit my ability to invest in inverse funds without passing tests and reading large amounts of data. I am capable of understanding inverse funds and their risk.

Here we go again. The Federal Govt wants to tell me how I should be investing. I am 88 and fully capable of growing my Investment portfolio by using 2X Leveraged ETF's. Do you liberals have nothing else to do? Get a real job.
