I beleive i should be able to choose the publiv investments that are right for me and my family. public investments should remain available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before being able to invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. i understand the funds and their RISKS.This is important investment strategy for us. i seek enhanced returns to survive. i am retired after putting in 40 years with state govt. and enjoy the challenge.

You people have no right to tamper or regulate these types of investments. They have already been scrutinized, approved, and regulated by the SEC. We do not need more Bureaucratic interference, in fact we need less. Go elsewhere, find another project, and leave this alone. The ild saying applies here, dont fix what aint broke

These regulations would be taking a valuable tool away from investors. They would impinge on our ability to hedge our accounts against loss. We would need to become short sellers, which is much more risky and unavailable in retirement accounts. Your proposed rules would increase market risk.

Leveraged and inverse funds are a regular part of my investment portfolio, allowing me to hedge at appropriate times. Please do not consider or pass Rule #S7-24-15.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I should be able to invest in whatever I choose to do with my hard-earned money. Regulators are not LAW-MAKERS. I am not an extremely wealthy person but I should have the same opportunities as other "high new worth" individuals. ...Equal Opportunity under the law!

As an experienced investor, I fully support this regulation. I assist other seniors in financial management and have far too many inappropriate investments promoted. Anyone investing in a complex, high risk instrument should be thoroughly vetted for knowledge and appropriateness.

Highly intelligent people are in all industries. Although there is some solid math involved in understanding financial decisions, it isnt so difficult to pass a series 7 to establish that it would make ones IQ higher than any average person. Adding a requirement to regulate people seems like a money-grab and another obstacle to entry in an industry with far too many advantages for the in-crowd that themselves are under-regulated and IPO thieves.

We should be able to invest without government intervention.

I oppose the attempt to restrict the rights of investors to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. While I see that it is an attempt to prevent possible loss by inexperienced investors, failure is sometimes a necessary learning tool. Rules made to avoid the odds of failures are simply crutches for the inexperienced and unnecessary barriers to those attempting to learn. There are already limits in place that suffice. What will be done when those who pass the test, still lose money?

This is unacceptable!! Everyone deserves to invest their own money if we want to fight the inflation that YOU are causing
