This is a public investment it should not be regulated into an opportunity for only a privileged few. Leveraged ETFs have been an important part of my portfolio for years and I do not want to lose that opportunity.

As an infrequent, low value investor, any regulations that inhibit my ability to invest as I see fit is strongly opposed. I understand that I don't understand every nuance of investing. However, I also take full responsibility of learning what I don't know before I invest. This is a personal responsibility that should be taken seriously by all investors in all aspects of their lives.

Aloha. Mahalo for doing the best to your abilities to protect American citizens without infringement on their freedoms and financial success. We are at an inflection point moving from the old financial system into a new financial system. The decisions you and your peers agree upon has potential impact on 100s of millions of lives. Let's make sure your team and the American population is educated to do their own research and critical analysis to identify what good opportunities for each of us looks like and to take action on those along with supporting causes each of us believe in.

I believe that individuals, *not* regulators, are capable of making their own decisions as to what to invest in. If we've learned anything during the pandemic, it's that people are smart and able to figure out their own needs quite well...and investments are no exception.
Leveraged and inverse funds can be a useful part for a *portion* of someone's investment strategy, but again, people are capable of determining for themselves how large that portion is.

Do not do this. The risks are apparent to every adult trader and this path goes against the spirit & freedom of the market.

I dont believe that investing should be limited to only high net worth customers. There is unlimited information available for everyday investors to learn about options. Public investments should available to all public investors not just segregated to those that are deemed eligible or wealthy , etc.

Why are you people in Congress so affraid of Americans making money? Leave my investing and investments alone

I have been an investor for many years now.
I have to say, I'm very upset with the FED and the way they have been manipulating the currency since the 08 market correction.
From that time on they destroyed the bond markets diversification capabilities to the stock market, because it now runs in conjunction with the market. At present my "Short" position is the only thing countering the market.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. They actually allow for a more conservative overall portfolio that matches full market performance.

Please do not limit the people's access to these financial instruments.

I was disturbed to hear of proposed regulations that could limit my access to leveraged and inverse funds. I have used these products successfully, and especially appreciate the availability of inverse funds for short-term hedging needs. I would prefer being able to do this in my stock market account rather than being forced to use futures. I'm a responsible adult, I take responsibility for my own actions, and I don't need your "help" regarding these products. Let them be, please.
