I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use leverage and inverse funds, to protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns in accounts that are not allowed options. I use them as a limited but necessary part of my overall portfolio, especially in a declining market it is the only available way to protect my investments without selling, unless that is your intent.
