For the past decade I have invested a small fraction of my portfolio (between 1 and 4%) in leveraged mutual funds and ETFs. I realize that these are quite risky and that rebalancing is required. But a careful investor who is mathematically inclined is capable of handling them. The people you propose to prohibit from trading leverages funds are exactly those who should be able to continue doing so, with their own money.

I have my own investment strategy using proshares with mix of other shares, i already hold many proshares that are in deep loss due to markets now and i hope i will have flexibility on when to buy/sell .

I really wish the government would butt out. If I want to gamble my rent money you have nothing to say, but you want to regulate trading. Then you look the other way when banks and hedge funds break the law. Do us all a favor and spend your time [REDACTED], you are just going to screw things up.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. Public investments should be available to all not just a few.

Comments: Stop thinking retail investors are too stupid to use financial products.

Its absolutely ridiculous to think that, with the current alerts and warnings on retail brokerage software, we(retail) are unable to understand the risk in its plainest definition.

These types of regulations are boots on the neck of the middle class as they try to climb this great ladder of capitalism.

Dont limit the ability for us to participate in our economy. Please.

WE SHOULD NEVER BE IMPOSED THE KIND OF RESTRICTIONS BEING PRESENTED WHEN IT IS OUR MONEY, OUR INVESTMENTS. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR, AS WELL AS RESEARCH TOPICS SUCH AS THESE TO UNDERSTAND AND MAKE EDUCATED, QUALIFIED, INTELLIGENT DECISIONS. STOP PUTTING YOURSELVES IN AS THE 'EXPERTS' BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY ARE NOT.

The same opportunities and strategies should be available to the general public as long as everyone is made aware of the particular risks of any investment strategy

Leveraged funds are very important to my investment strategy. I use them for brokerage accounts and my retirement accounts. Public investments should be available to everyone.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.

If an individual can afford to invest in a company, mutual fund, bond, the index, etc; they should have the right to do so without restriction. As long as their investments are legitimate, then why refuse someone from investing in any market.
