Please do not limit the average person's ability to trade leveraged and inverse ETFs. Add an option requirement like options if you must, but please do not take away yet another tool less wealthy investors can use to maximize the value of their trades. Risk is an inherent part of the market and just because something is risky does not mean that it can't be understood by the
Please don't tell me what I can and can't invest in. Being a small investor is tough enough without those in charge putting more and more roadblocks and restrictions. The vast majority understand the risks of investing and don't need to be treated like children with "Cooling off periods" that smack of a 5-yr-old being given a timeout.
If restrictions
I should be able to maintain the right to choose my own public investments and not be forced to go through any special process in order to do so. I understand the risks and would like to maintain that I freely choose my own variety of investments including inverse stocks. What is the real reason behind this proposed restriction? The veil to the truth is very opaque and I, for one see truth and
Numerous retail investors, including myself, responsibly use leveraged ETFs in a holistic investing strategy while understanding the risks. Leveraged ETFs aren't the only ETF that could be dangerous to an uninformed investor, yet we shouldn't limit every ETF that presents volatility.

We shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. Explain that We are capable of understanding
To All elected officials-
Investing in funds that I believe is in my best interest is very important for me. Please do not tie my hands on my money that I worked very hard for. My investments are my business. This is a free country that I fought for. Lets make sure it stays that way. This needs to be treated like any other stock. All investors know that all stocks are a risk. To make it clear
I adamantly oppose restrictions to my Right to Invest in any type of investment. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to everyone not just the privileged few. I should not have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities as I am more than capable of understanding my investments &
My opinion is options contracts are far more inherently dangerous for inexperienced investors. I believe leverage funds have gone to great length to explain their products and cost and inverse funds can help mitigate downside risks in a portfolio. Neither leverage nor inverse inhibit what the market is designed to do: price discovery. Index funds also skew the market but are fantastic investment
Individual investors do NOT need additional protections on complex products. Brokers offer sufficient warnings on these products. Additionally, FINRA and the SEC provide educational resources for individual investors regarding complex products. It is the responsibility of individual investors to educate themselves and manage risk appropriately. FINRA can't protect an individual investor who
