I use leveraged and inverse funds as a protection hedge and to enhance returns. I am fully capable of understanding leverage and inverse funds as well as risks. I don't need a special test before investing in these funds safely. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, not regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
