I believe it is completely unreasonable to restrict my ability to invest in instruments that I deem appropriate for myself. Im an adult and this is the United States of America - I dont need to be coddled and protected as to what I want to invest in. Furthermore, these instruments are completely legal, the proposal is just to keep them for people who already have a lot of money, thereby widening the wealth gap because those of higher means will continue to have access.
Bad legislationcancel the effort.

Our free enterprise system opens and allows of many income levels to opportunity to invest the market system ,national,global, to set regulations is to dampen the freedom to choose the best viable stock option, secure or insecure stocks.

To Whom it May Concern,

I have invested for over twenty years. In the beginning I did not know much, but I learned. Did I make mistakes? Sure. But I knew there were risks. As long as someone can document that they understand investing involves risk and loss, they should be able to invest in any legal arrangement. To not allow or to put up barriers to entry, would just be forcing the younger and poorer to stay un-invested and less advantaged.

Leveraged funds allow investors to take on a relatively cheap form of leverage without risking margin call or needing to deal with the tax implications of rolling futures or options contracts. It shouldn't be the government's job to force investors to make what they consider "safe" investments, and in the digital age investors are only a google search and an hour away from learning about the additional risks of leveraged ETFs, such as volatility drag and fees.

We dont need to regulate. We can read!

Enough!! Play Wih YOUR Own $$$ Leave OURS Alone!!

I am opposed to regulation #22-08.

I should be about to make my own decisions about my investments, not regulators. I can read & understand the notices that are provided when I choose an investment and should not be required to take a test to prove it.

I use inverse funds as well as other instruments and it will be detrimental to my portfolio if I am unable to use them.

I ask that regulation #22-08 not be enacted

[REDACTED] no !

Dear Sir,

I clearly oppose any restrictions on my investment right. I am retired, meaning old enough to understand the risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds. So, I only invest in those funds with small portion of my total investment amount. Sometimes, I need investment flexibility of leveraged funds, which can be accomplished with smaller amount of money. And, I invest in inverse funds for hedge purpose, which can be done efficiently with smallder amount of money too. So, I oppose any restrictions of my investment freedom of which funds I choose to invest.
