No reason to limit anyone's ability to invest in the market. As an investor I'm responsible for educating myself on the risks I'm accepting with my investments and weigh these risks against the potential returns.

I regard ProShares Short S&P as a viable alternative method of hedging portfolio risk.
I urge you to let investors continue to use this and similar securities in their portfolios.

I firmly believe everyone should be given the chance and freedom to invest in what they like as long as the risk is disclosed to them and they understand the risk. In my case I believe I fully understand the risks of leveraged ETFs before making my investments. Removing this freedom will definitely harm the efficiency of the market. Even if people's freedom in investments is reduced, there are always some investors nevertheless who will lose money regardless of products.

I am capable of understanding complex funds and should not have regulators limiting my choice in which funds I can purchase.

I strongly oppose any restrictions on the trading of any of the fund types in the notice particularly leveraged and inverse ETFs or ETNs involving indices or volatility. Risks are clearly laid out in the prospectus. Not the governments job to restrict the freedom to invest in these products in order to protect people who cant be bothered to read the prospectus and then get burned by risks clearly outlined in said prospectus.

Leveraged Proshares are an excellent way to manage risk in a modest-sized investment portfolio. Please do not add additional limits and/or regulations on these instruments for investors like me. Thank you.

Hi,
I don't agree with limiting my ability to investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I can do my own research and make my own decisions regarding where and how I want to invest my money. I also don't think the government should be limiting what I can invest in versus institutions.
Thanks

"I oppose restrictions to my right to invest"

To Whom It May Concern,
The regulations proposed interfere with my right to invest. I oppose restrictions on your right to invest in public investments.
There should be no special process, test, or financial status associated with public investments.

Risk is associated with everything in life, such as driving a vehicle, going to college or entering the workforce, or even accepting a job promotion. We make decisions such as requiring auto or home owner insurance. If I already understand the amount of risk of my investments, I do not need an exam to tell me how to invest. By maximizing my return on a diversified leveraged fund (such as UPRO - 3X S&P 500), it allows a small part of my portfolio balanced towards different growth potentials.
