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. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I don't need the government to baby-sit me.

Leveraged and inverse funds are highly valued-liquid trading instruments that I find very useful for quickly getting long and or short the market and are frequently used for hedging purposes. These products provide a very effective means to manage capital at market risk and there are no other inexpensive-scalable alternatives available to retail investors. These leveraged products provide
I strongly oppose regulators deciding whether or not I can invest in public securities. I am well educated and have been an investor for a great number of years.

I have no problem with be advised of the potential greater risk that is involved with any investment, that certainly falls under education and fair disclosure which
I am able to make my own investment decisions. I do not require the federal government and certainly not unelected folk to try to "protect" me from funds that I use to offset the risks of other investments. The effect of the proposed regulations is such that it will make it much more difficult for me to protect myself and it will make such funds only available to the

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. 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.
