The right to freely invest our money is no different than any other fundamental freedom in this country (although many are constantly under attack). Consumers have both the right and responsibility to educate themselves about the risks & rewards associated with any investment, make the personal choice, and accept responsibility for it. Financial regulations always have the perverse effect

I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
I should have the right to determine what, if any, investments are right for me. I do not want "big brother" treating me like a child and regulating what currencies, if any, that I choose. Everything in life is risky. We "little people" have the right to take on risks just as much as you elitists do. It's simply not fair for you rich people to run our
I 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.

Government should be set up so that no man has to fear another. Im not afraid of the financial instruments I buy. Im a military spouse and use my understanding of the SQQQ ticker to time my entry and exit from this instrument. Im concerned that I simply will be shut out from investing in a way that has really worked for us and supplemented my husbands shockingly low wage. Please dont allow
It is my money and only I should have the right to choose which investments I pursue. I am fully aware of the investment risks. That's why prospectuses are available. Additionally, these type of inverse and leveraged funds are excellent tools to hedge portfolios which all funds may not be held at one firm.
Stay out of my financial affairs. Having over thirty years of investment
