I would like to be free to invest in what I deem appropriate for me, my investment and retirement goals, and my risk tolerance. I do not need someone who knows nothing about me, my personal goals or my personal risk tolerance to attempt to determine what is or is not appropriate. Nor do I need someone else to tell me what they think I may or may not understand. In short, I do not need someone else to 'think for me'. I am very capable of doing that for myself and have been doing so for 55 years.

Everyone should have the right to invest their money how they see fit. Restricting it to only benefit high net worth individuals is deplorable and characteristic of a greedy, exclusionary practice that should never have been considered in the first place.

I oppose your proposed restrictions on Leveraged and inverse investments. I use these fund to balance my investment strategies and actually to reduce investment risk. You do not have the right to place restrictions on these investments in a free economy. Let Capitalism function properly. The failure of those who take unnecessary risks should not limit those who educate themselves on these risks. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been responsible for my Own investing for the last 18 years, and my portfolio is in the millions. I never use leveraged funds, but find Inverse ETFs an important aspect of my investment strategy.

Adding these rules only hurts traders. Everyone starts somewhere and creating requirements hinders their learning process. You don't need to be a genius to use most of these instruments and these restrictions are an annoyance to even experienced investors.

I would like to choose my own investment strategies without being told how to invest. There is no reason to go through any process to trade something I have traded hundreds of times. Inverse funds and leveraged funds are part of investing and I do t need regulation on something that I completely understand already.

This proposal is a blatant overreach. It is my right to invest when I want and how I want! I don't need nor want a baby sitter.

The investor should be able to choose how they invest without having to go through any special processes. These strategies are important for many strategies and without them could radically change the projected performance of our portfolios.

I'm opposed to this regulation. I feel we should have the right to choose our investments based on our own individual risk tolerances.

SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 I vehemently oppose restrictions to my right to invest in public investments. I am able to chose the public investments that are right for me and discuss with financial advisor as needed. These investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. There shouldnt be any special process like passing a test before investing in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I am able to understand these funds and their risks. I dont want any measures to limit my ability to invest in these public investments imposed on me.
