I am an investors that uses leveraged and inverse funds to meet my investment objectives and am fully aware of the unique risks and benefits that they pose. Please do not limit my access to the investments, or require that I take any special tests to gain access.
I am a current investor in leveraged ETFs. I understand the risks fully and do not wish to have this investment vehicle taken away from me. Retail investors are already at huge disadvantages before taking them away and this would only make it worse.
Stop treating the public like theyre stupid and restricting them from investments. The real solution is to require those offering more complex investments to provide better education around them and potential risks upfront. Not just restricting them outright.
Please don't add burdensome regulations. Informed investors are capable of making intelligent investments after weighing the risks. Uninformed investors will soon learn the hard way why they should avoid risky investments they don't really understand and will be better for the lesson.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public.
I am knowledgably & understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
This well intended proposed regulation will force small investors into trading futures contracts in able to hedge or short the market, creating even more risk for the average investor.
Stop this silliness now. This proposed regulation does more harm than good.
Investing in Leveraged funds boosted the returns and at the same time helped me invest only portion of the Retirement corpus (thus limiting my risk) and still was able to beat S&P500 and Nasdaq returns.
Please do not restrict Leveraged investments.

While I understand the need to protect people I also feel it is important that people have the right to invest in legitimate devices as they see fit. If anything advise people of their investment risk but don't automatically curb people or their ability to invest in leveraged items because of some bad/uninformed choices by others.
Dear Sirs. I am a senior investor and firmly believe that investors like me should have the freedom to invest in options such as cryptocurrency. Yes there are risks involved in these investments as there are in all types of investments. Please allow us to make these decisions on our own.
