I want to choose my investments and NOT have regulators restrict me. I do not want them "protecting" me. Let me take my own risks. I am a financial professional and don't want to take any test to "qualify me". If I lose my investment, I will not be looking for a bail out. It is my responsibility to assess my own risks. The only exception is if
The risks of investing are well known. Loss of capital is always possible. The risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds are equivalent. As an investor, I don't need the government to tell me what I may or may not invest in. Your duty is not to protect me from myself, or from possibly poor decisions I may make. At the limit, your duty may be to inform me of risks, but beyond that, it
It's absurd to restrict buying securities regardless of how much risk that they carry. If investors want to carry additional risk but purchasing leveraged ETFs or inverse funds they should be able to. No investor should have to go through extra steps to buy any security or go through a "cool down period." Leveraged funds are part of my diversified portfolio as a way to
99% of investors understand the risks of investing. When investors choose to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs, they understand the risks they are taking on.

This is unethical to stop the average Joe from getting The Gaines that he/she should actually be getting. Settling for just market value sucks and you guys know that! Please do not regulate any father let us have the freedom we know the risk we understand the risk
Thé government has no right to tell hard working Americans how they can invest their money. It did not work for it. These rules would block access for the average person to invest in companies that would bring them revenue. A risk is a risk. Everyday you walk across the street you take a risk. Its the for some anonymous government official to decide where and how people invest. This is outrageous
The availability of complex products and options can potentially expand the investment opportunities for retail investors and, if properly understood, offer favorable investment outcomes (e.g., enhancing returns, limiting losses or improving diversification). However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and
To whom it may concern.
The ability to invest in public securities/investments, and/or leveraged and inversed funds should be left to the investors that understand any associated risks with same. Investors, such as I, that understand these investments should not need legislation imposed upon us to try and control an outcome. As an active investor, funds such as these, help protect overall
I should be able to invest in what I want. I understand there are risks and you should make a confirmation for people buying with the risks. To punish people who learned isn't fair. I've learned through time in the market and losses. Just as any trader. I'm finally profitable in what I do. I use leverage etfs. If people lose money then they should lose it that way they learn
