The elevation of chosen investors, creating the “accredited investor” designation that can be achieved solely on the measure of a one's wealth or income was an egregious, unmistakable step toward oligarchy. With existing rules already in place, governmental agencies are now using a wealth/income-based designation to reserve high-risk, high-reward investment opportunities and products for wealthy investors ONLY. This is another unmistakable step towards oligarchy.

You have made this notice complex. I only agree with giving the investor more information 2c. If you want to regulate something make Companies that issue a K-1 to shareholders be required to use a stock symbol ending in K.

Please quit trying to save me from myself. You've already placed more than enough restrictions on the small investor to put him at a significant disadvantage.

As Shareholders of this type of investment, we take our risks under no pressure to buy or own the leverage and inverse fund. I'm concerned about the special process or regulation, if it ever becomes the reality, it restricts our choice or the freedom to strategize our investment. Given the fact that the specific ETF, a high leverage investment type is high risk and we accepted it. If even a special process is introduced, the risk DOES NOT GO away. We DO NOT NEED this special measure and DO NOT NEED this measure imposed on our investment strategy.

I oppose restrictions on the right to invest in public investments. Please let me 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 few. I understand the risks and complete loss of principal of these investments. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged funds. There is enough materials and warnings already. Do not need additional measures imposed on us.

If it's not broken don't fix it

Investment decisions should be made by the investor. Regulation of individual investment decisions is not needed.Government regulation is already too invasive to people's freedoms. No more is needed.

Do NOT insinuate that the money we had the mental capacity to acquire should in any manner be regulated as to how we choose to spend it. It is ours! Government is so over their head in debt that it, if anything, has proven a failure in spending and investing. It would be impossible for us to do a worse job! And we the people are to be in control as we reject dictatorship!

Dear Sir/Madam: I am an active investor and trade in global capital markets. In my view leveraged and inverse mutual funds and ETFs are extremely important investment vehicles available to investors today. Such ETFs that provide leveraged and inverse exposure to various markets give prudent investors the ability to hedge risk in their portfolios and potentially achieve better results.

What the point of the security and exchange commission. If all they are going to do is keep the people. They swore to protect broke and in debt. Why are there no regulations to keep us safe? It seem like the government is just helping them self it didnt stop there 20% raise this year.
