College educated, good job, and young. I use leveraged funds because I can afford higher risks. I don't think it is up to regulators to determine who can and can't play ball.

The decision for an individual to invest in any stock, bond, commodity or derivative future never be restricted by a subjective analysis of an individual's understanding of that particular investment instrument. Risk in investment is a specifically individual decision to made by an investor.

If an investment instrument is so complex as to need restriction to only the high income or specially educated, they shouldn't be restricted, they should be outlawed(made illegal).

It makes NO sense to require testing and other regulatory restrictions on the use of inverse and related funds. I utilize them in hedging activities when risk within the market becomes excessive without the need to sell securities at short-term taxable gain. I have a brain and am perfectly capable of understanding and determining when to use such securities. I do NOT need PERMISSION from ANY authority (including FINRA or any broker) to invest my own funds.

Keep your hands off my already taxed savings. If you had any brains you would figure. Out how to control your spending. You have already proven that you don't have the necessary brains. You have to go.

Investors should be able to choose the public investments that are right from them.

Restricting America's hardest working people from investing will only cause more deceit and dissent in our country every human being deserves the right to make a living any way possible including investment a new generation for wealth and new generation for investing

Hi, I'm just righting to say that I oppose further regulation on leveraged funds. I don't want to have to demonstrate a certain amount of wealth or regulated investment knowledge. I do use these funds as part of my own investing strategy. I know what I'm doing when I buy these and I know there is risk involved. Don't regulate this and discriminate against normal income people. Thanks,

The idea of regulators being able to determine what I can invest in is very disconcerting to me. I thought we lived in a free America where we could determine our own future and make decisions that will help us get there. I am very much against regulators or any one else making these kind of decisions for me!!

To whom it may concern, How dare you [REDACTED] sit there and try to make us, the consumer, have even less choices to decide what we do with our money and investment plans? We should be the one that makes the choices not you. Your job is to make whatever company signed up with you follows rules to protect the consumer, but this doesnt protect the consumer from the company, but rather is trying to protect us from ourselves. Self righteousness at its finest. Stay out of our business! If that means we lose our money, then thats on us no one else.

I should be able to invest how I want to not the gov.
