Leveraged and inverse funds are crucial to everyday retail market participants for investment strategies, and provide a means to keep up with shifts in the marketplace. Their availability finally evens the playing-field between professional entities or computer algorithms, and the general investment public, and to restrict individuals from availing of them would be contrary to the public good. I urge you not to further widen the disparity between us everyday intelligent retail investors, and the privileged professionals. As a member of the general public, I have a post-graduate degree and am quite capable of choosing public investments without being forced to jump through restrictive hoops such as testing. Leveraged financial products should be accessible to all, and to limit their access in any way would be tantamount to throttling the public who are seeking enhanced returns in the markets. Please let us retain this right.
