I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to ALL of the public not just the wealthy. I should not have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I occasionally use leverage and inverse funds for enhanced returns. This is
I'm blessed to have been able to invest in many of the investments at risk of being able to invest in complex securities. This year with the public stock markets in a bear market my investments in interval funds, non-traded REITS, volatility linked ETFs and hedge funds have offset the risk of owning stocks. Limiting these investments further by imposing test requirements, net worth
Traders in leveraged and inverse products don't need the federal government's protection in the form of limiting our freedom to trade.

Risk is an inherent factor of market involvement and it is each investor's duty to mitigate that risk for themselves, not yours. Imposing arbitrary limitations limits both the agency of the investor and their goals
I have never met anyone who thinks investing has no risk. People are by nature very protective of their assets, so give them credit for knowing how to manage risk.

Placing restrictions "protecting" retail investors and traders from themselves inhibits them from the same
Hello
I am an investor with over 25 years of investment experience. I should be able to buy/ trade any public investment that is available in the market place that fits my objectives. Institutions already have a lot of advanced capabilities thats not available to individuals like me. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are an effective way of hedging and reduce capital risk.
