Leveraged funds have become an important part of my investment strategy. Adding any sort of limitations or restrictions on my ability to utilize these investments will have significant negative impacts on my ability to participate in financial markets which I believe should be open to all. The focus should be on investor education and risk disclosure, not limiting access based on an arbitrary
I am an adult. I complete understand the risk and the benefit of purchasing leveraged and inverse funds. In this case there should not be any special requirements to get permit of purchasing public investments. If a restriction is adding to me, my strategy that I set years ago will be greatly impacted and there will be a huge loss purely due to regulations.
Therefore I oppose restrictions to my
Comments: Stop thinking retail investors are too stupid to use financial products.
Its absolutely ridiculous to think that, with the current alerts and warnings on retail brokerage software, we(retail) are unable to understand the risk in its plainest definition.
These types of regulations are boots on the neck of the middle class as they try to climb this great ladder of capitalism.

I oppose the regulation that requires extra testing before I can invest my own money. It is my money. I understand fully when I signed up to be my own trader. I take full responsibility. I do not appreciate the extra steps you are forcing me to do before I can invest in my future. Are there risks? Of course! However, that is for me to decide.
Leveraged products are key to the risk management of any retail investor. These new regulations and especially the high net worth requirement will only enlarge the inequality between the rich and the rest of us, who already have way less instruments and hedging opportunities to resort to. You should protect the retail investors rather than making their investing a living hell.
We as Americans has the right in invest in stocks and bonds of our choice, not regulators. Why should we have to pass a test to invest, we can do our own research and decide if it is worth the risk to invest our money. Many of us have been in the market for decades, it is not up to you what bonds or businesses we support.
I do not think this is fair for low networth investor who may not have opportunity to earn high return vs high networth investors. It is discrimination because public investment should be available to everyone without restriction or requirement to obtain any special training. You can give notice of high risk speculation but cannot regulate public investments.
I oppose any legislation restricting my right to invest in any public investments. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I am perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I shouldn't have to go through any special process before
I am advised that I am now incapable of making my own investment decisions re leveraged or inverse investments This is quite surprising as I have been doing this for decades, with much satisfaction and no regrets I am quite content working with my own risk parameters and object to others telling me what I may or may not do, and oppose such efforts and oversight
