I am vehemently opposed to restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged instruments. These leverage instruments help to hedge my portfolio. These restrictions are contrary to open markets and capitalism. It should be up to the investor to research and understand risks and not the nanny state! The investor and not the regulator should be the one to determine what kind of investment is right for him/her; furthermore, no regulations should be created to impede the public investment choice of investors. Public investments should not be just for the privileged, but for everyone.
