I appreciate the need to protect retail investors from making decisions when they do not fully understand the risks or other features of the products. It is reasonable to require the broker to take steps to educate retail investors and conduct some sort of test to make sure that they understand what they are getting into. But insurmountable obstacles should not be thrown in the path of retail
I use leveraged etfs as a part of an investment portfolio. These products are now a fundamental part of what I do in business and for personal investments. They provide a convenient means of achieving what would otherwise require the use of options or futures. Indeed, I have compared the performance of leveraged etfs and futures and found the etfs perform similarly enough that I continue to use
Dear Sirs and Madams: I feel that I have the right to invest in any investment that fits my financial requirements without having to 'pass a test'. These proposed regulations treat US citizens as children! I do not need 'help' from Federal Regulators to manage my money. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important and critical part of my investment strategy. When markets are
I am an adult. I, not regulators, can decide what investments are right for me. No tests or proof of a "high net worth" are necessary to determine the appropriateness of where and how I invest my money.

I do not want regulators to have these measures imposed on me since I am capable of understanding the risks of these funds. Leveraged and inverse funds help
I OPPOSE restrictions on the right to invest. In particular: All investors not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that fit their circumstances. Public investments need to be available to the public, not just those investors considered acceptable by regulators. Investors should not be vetted by regulators--through the passing of a test or other means--before being allowed
I am opposed to you limiting the investments I can invest in. I have a masters degree in Finance and have been managing my own money for 24 years. I should not have to pass a test or demonstrate high net worth to be able to invest in leveraged or inverse ETFs. I know full well the risks involved and I use leveraged ETFs as a vital part of my overall investment strategy. These types of investments
I strongly oppose limiting access to public securities for the select few who pass unnecessary tests. The public is perfectly capable of reading and understanding a prospectus and the associated risks and making wise investment decisions for themselves and their families. The securities under consideration for additional regulation such as leveraged and inverse funds are a key strategy to my
I am capable of investing in risky assets like inverse leveraged and leveraged accounts. I do my research with high quality support from FundStrat and read Barrons, Wall Street Journal and follow many analysts.
