I oppose restrictions on our right to invest in public investments. We shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before one can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. We are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.
I should be able to make my own decisions when choosing the public investments for me and my family without the regulators' interference in any way, not to mention to go through any process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am totally capable of understanding the risks involved in those funds.
It is well within my rights to be able to determine the risk I'm willing to entertain with MY money.
I use leveraged/inverse ETFs to hedge my portfolio. I don't need to partake in any special process or pass any tests to do so, and I don't appreciate the nanny state trying to limit my access to ANY investment, wise or not.
Educate, yes.. Limit, No..
I urge you not to update investors options on vehicles, etfs and mutual funds, that restrict options to only those deemed acceptable to regulators, ie, un-elected officials. Inverse and leverage products are not complicated and a person should not be restricted by the potential of their own mistakes or incompetence. They are great tools to balance a portfolios risk profile. Plenty of bad actors
I have my rights to choose what investment I want to make, whether I have $10 or $10 millions dollars to spare. It should be available to all, not just the privileged. I understand the leveraged and inverse funds and their risks because I do research on them before making the investment. I don't want to take and pass a test to invest in anything. My money, my problem!

I regularly maintain positions in 2x leveled ets for the purpose of hedging and to maximize my upside without the use of margin debt or options with expiration dates. Products like SSO and QLD allow me to be patient, as well as invest less cash to achieve the same or similar performance as spy and qqq; each of which require putting up double the cash at risk.
I understand that investing in leveraged funds has it risks but how to invest my money is my choice. I appreciate just and transparent regulations but limiting peoples freedom of investing is not one of them. Perhaps you should have regulations so that the ones who manipulated the market for their own profit but sent our economy into crisis, such as the one in 2008, will go to jail.
The proposed limitations on certain purchasers of leveraged and inverse funds appears arbitrarily selected with no rational justification as to how it is meant to protect anyone. It appears the "protection" factor is nothing but a ruse to give an unfair advantage to professional and institutional investors - by given them privileged access to investing options not available to
