Leveraged and inverse funds provide investors with access to trading strategies that would otherwise be impossible to execute. The fact that these investment vehicles exist is the utmost proof that USA has one of the most, if not the most advanced financial markets in the world, and this standing has certainly helped attract trillions of funds over the years from around the globe to make the US market the undisputed world leader in financial investing.

I have used ProShares as a hedge against market declines many times. It actually lowers risk in my portfolio in that its an insurance against large market drops.
I totally oppose any restrictions on trading this product!

Why would it be a good idea to deny basic freedom, to the public securities market? These days MORE than ever, a fundamental tenant to achieving long-term financial security, should NOT be disavowed to ANYone!!! Broad, arbitrary, and vague definitions prove, execution of such an unworkable scheme, would at best, show egregious arbitrary results under ANY type, or form, of implementation. The long standing disclosure-based system works!!

Do not limit anyone , not your choice to make !

I as an American citizen should have the right to invest in anything that I wish. I've allredy started investing in regulation A+ stocks because of the reforms that were made.its not right to take this opportunity from regular and poor people because we are regular and poor. such regulations would only serve to keep us regular and poor. this isn't right and must be stopped. thank you.

I'm a Tax Payer stay away from choice of investment

This is a very stupid idea. What are the investors holding these stocks going to do if those very bad rules are in acted? Please dont in act.

You have to give everyone a chance to survive and there should be basically instructions you can't rip off the ones who matter in the survival if the bitcoins it's a way to manipulate wealth

Leave this alone you the Government already tax SS, our retirements , we-pay to get our Social Security after we paid in for 40 years and now you have so much money you dont have to worry about it!

I am a long term investor. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. They are a small, but important vehicle for hedging against dramatic swings in the market and are crucial to balancing my portfolio. I understand and accept the risks inherent to the use of inverse funds and do not need special tests in order to invest in them. I believe the proposed restrictions infringe on my rights as an individual investor and give a dramatic advantage to institutional and extreme wealth investors.
