People understand products better than you think. Let those who want to take additional risk in funds choose to do so. You should not be regulating public access to such items. Individuals can choose to invest in their own business which is just as risky (if not much more) as these public funds. You aren't preventing that?? Let each individual choose their own level of investing or
Leveraged and inverse funds like those offered by Direxion and Proshares provide individual investors like me the opportunity to take leveraged positions without the need to understand the underlying complex derivatives and options tools used to create the leverage. Please don't add extra restrictions that make the use of the funds more difficult. I already have to regularly sign a statement
In this nation it has always been possible for individuals to take risks of varying levels and, in doing so, achieve levels of success that support them, their families and the nation. To limit that in the investment arena is to make children out of all investors. I urge you strongly not to limit or hamper the use of leveraged and inverse funds.

I am an investor in New Hampshire, I oppose this. Investors, by definition, have made the choice to invest, knowing that certain types of investments are risky. I like leveraged and inverse ETF products. Sometimes I choose strategies to limit my risk, sometimes I don't, I accept the pros and cons associated with different strategies.

I have been using leveraged etf's for 10 years...i like them...they allow me to invest a smaller percent of portfolio and still get a return. Trade frequently every week. The risks are well documented. What i dont like are ETNs that close during times of market volatility.
As far as i am concerned... I am an individual investor.....Who are you to tell me how much money i can make
I strongly and vehemently oppose any restrictions on my ability to trade freely. This is a blatant attempt to segregate investors based on a shaky litmus test to intentionally squash investors based on an elitist agenda to stifle the ability of the public to trade as they see fit and to make their own judgements based on personal risk tolerances and long term investments objectives. This type
Please do not limit/restrict my and other investors' access to L&I Funds or disqualify us from trading L&I Funds or other "complex products".
I do have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that understand that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they should be monitored
