I understand leverage and inverse funds and risks associated with funds. I found that these funds are working well for hedging against my long term investments for me. So please allow individual investors to have that funds available.

Please don't deny me the freedom to choose investments that have helped me achieve long-term financial security. We know how to read. We know the risks and we also know the rewards.
Don't tie our hands...let us choose.

I oppose the limitations on the investments in "complex products" such as the leveraged funds offered by ProShaires.

It is an investors right to freely access public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions and make their own investment decisions.

I respectfully request that my rights as an individual investor not be burdened by limiting my investment options with unnecessary regulations

Dear Sirs,
I should be able to 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. All people, not just rich/privileged should all be given the opportunity to benefit from greater gains which are available by using this type of investment. We, regular investors, are able to manage risk by only buying a suitable position size that corresponds to our risk level.

I have been informed that you intend on restricting, impairing or preventing my ability to purchase and sell proshares inverse ETF funds such as QID. I am currently using them as a hedge against adverse market conditions. As, regulators I do not believe you should restrict my rights to invest or hedge my current portfolio. If you do so, you will financially damage my assets in a down market. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important component to my strategies to make money and prevent loss.

COMMENTS ON 22-08 You have made this request for comments so complicated that it is hard to follow. I will just list my ideas and you can try to sort them out. On my trip from model airplanes to airline captain I have made many replies that affected new FARs. This a free country and everyone should be able to risk some $ and try to make more $. This should include hedge funds, but limited to a portion of cash on hand and maybe a portion your last tax AGI. This limit should apply to selling options other than covered calls.

Comments:

Please leave the leveraged funds alone.

Comments: Please Do Not Restrict Leveraged ETF access. We use these to make extra income.
