I use these investments tactically to hedge, and they have been very helpful in mitigating risk and improve returns. I really don't appreciate being treated like a child just because I'm not high net worth. People have a right to make their own decisions.

I should be able to choose investments and the risk i am willing to accept. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important element of my investment strategy. These investments should be available to all the public and not just the privileged. Please do not restrict the opportunity to invest in leveraged funds. There is already a notice of the risk and it is well communicated to investors. Please do
