I use leverage investments to provide added income for my family. I use it responsibly without margin and limit my exposure to a very small percentage of my portfolio.
I would be fine if there are more restrictions that include knowledge base learning tools and accepting the added risk characteristics that are involved with such investments. I do not feel it is necessary to take them away as a
I would like to let you know I fell that "Public Investments" should live up to their name and be open to the "Public". I am more than capable of understanding leveraged & inverse funds and their risks. I do not need an investment babysitter or any restrictions imposed that is going to make it any more difficult for me to get a good return on my
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest!!!
I have a right to make my own decisions on how I want to invest my money.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds

The fact that you are here speaks volumes about your commitment to build the most effective control environment possible at your firms.
Are we still living in a free country, or will the government just take over and tell us how we will live our lives? Managing risk is the responsibility of the investor and their relationship manager. When regulators will guarantee me a specific return "every" year then they can tell me how to invest, if they can't and they know they can't then they should regulate not dictate
It is not your responsibility to decide who is intelligent enough to handle their own finances. Most people who invest in these products are fully aware of the risks and rewards. They are not that complicated. I have used them rather successfully for years. I see this as just another example of government overreach, with attempts to control and limit our individual freedom of choice. Enough is
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Ishouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
