Comments: Instead of restricting investments in leveraged or inverse products, a focus should be on education. Explanation of risks and scenarios will help investors decide what they want. Certain automation steps may be helpful. Example- Limiting the investment in complex products in accounts that trade a lot, and/or limiting the amount of complex products as a percentage of total portfolio.
I understand the risks of investing in leveraged and inverse funds so I only invest a limited part of my overall portfolio in those funds. I do not like to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I do not like any restrictions on my right to invest in those funds.
I oppose to additional restrictions to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risks and limit my exposure accordingly, and believe others investing in such funds do too. It is in fact easier to use these funds than trying to achieve the same results by myself.
If anything I'd be in favor of funds providing easier to understand educational resources to

I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities which I choose. I do not need regulators to help me decide what to invest in. I am capable of understanding the risk and reward of my investments and do not need additional measures imposed on me.
I am very concerned that you are considering placing more restrictions on my ability to invest as I see fit.

Without them, I would need to waste an inordinate amount of time
I myself - 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. I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I am quite capable of understanding these funds and
I have worked hard my entire life to make a better future for myself and my family. If I choose to invest the money I have earned in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds, it should be my right! I have a college degree, I am capable of understanding risks and benefits.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse Exchange Traded Funds. There are already risk notification requirements for these investments. By their nature of being a fund, leveraged and inverse funds can be safer than using account margin or short selling. Leveraged and inverse vehicles allow me to participate in markets as I see fit. I do not want additional measures
