Investors should continue to have choice in investments ... if you want restrictions, let the brokers establish limits and not the government using a broker based form to allow an individual investor to be approved prior to making such investments and to make sure they are aware of the risks

I am big on investing in leveraged funds and it has worked great towards achieving my financial goals over the past few years. I strongly insist that leverage and inverse funds be fully open to all public

You y'all keep doing this there will be no money to live on. Stop steering everyone hard earned money. Everyone wants to have a nice life.

Regarding Pro-Shares (SDS), "we the people" do not want more regulation on "complex products" or any other regulation that prevents free will based on market conditions. Instead, your energy should be focused on the education of risk for these products ONLY. Your intervention in this matter, in itself, is controlling and disruptive to current investors. An attempt to control this sector will, in itself, cause an exit of cash flow leading to manipulation.

Comments: These complex products are important for clients to be able to hedge theri portfolios.

MEME stocks and excessive margin has created much more volatility and seems to be unregulated at the firm level where these ETF's are.

My concern is if these are limited then it will drive investors to other less visible aggressive investments

I have reviewed the documents and understand the risks of investing in leveraged products. I assume the risk, its made clear and the functionality of the instrument is also clear. I do not believe restrictions should be imposed on these investments as it will allow others, who are not restricted, to have an upper hand.

I oppose limitations on my ability to buy the funds! I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I'm an amateur investor trying to make a few bucks like the big guys out there. Please don't hurt my investment strategy. This is America and that means Freedom to choose! I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing!

I don't want my rights to be taken away to invest in leveraged or inverse investment products.

Please do Not limit me or my financial investment adviser by limiting the use of leveraged products. Granted these are aggressive products, but everything about stock buying or stock shorting, is aggressive. These products are simply tools to be used at the appropriate time. For example, during big market corrections in the past they give you a chance to recover more quickly from a 20% plus stock market decline, in the NASDAQ, or the S&P 500, etc. I do not use or want the short products in my account, and my investment adviser understands that.

I am a professor of accounting at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. I oppose the rules proposed in Notice 22-08. These rules, with the intention to protect investors, will limit investor access to publicly offered complex ETFs and harm investors’ best interests.
