I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest in public securities, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. Taking away retail investor rights and limiting access to these funds by imposing special processes or limitations only serves to further widen the gap between wealthy individuals and the average hard-working American public. These funds allow retail investors to hedge investments in times of volatility, and removing this ability only further skews the entire stock market in favor of large institutions such as hedge funds and large pool, non-retail market makers.

I am opposed to new restrictions being considered to make it more difficult for the average investor to purchase liquid leveraged products on the NASDAQ and NYSE.
As an average american, i find it difficult to keep up with the wealthy who seem to have a much easier time creating and growing their wealth. I have been trading leveraged products for over a dozen years and sometimes i am correct, sometimes i am incorrect, but i feel i deserve the opportunity to continue. I do this as an alternative to margin which is much riskier and wiped me out 20 years ago.

I have owned ProShares for many years and would like to continue to use them as an investment vehicle. I understand the inherent risks in these products, but they also serve an important hedge in the overall investment portfolio. Please do not restrict access to these products.

My accounts nobody but me can regulate them

I would like to oppose limitations on my ability to buy funds.

This is a public investment. It should not be regulated into an opportunity that only a privileged few will have access to. Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my portfolio and I do not want to lose that opportunity.

To Whom it May Concern,
I am totally opposed to the proposed regulations or any part of them that limit my ability as a small private investor to invest in Exchange Traded Funds. You are throwing away my primary ability to make money in the future. I do not understand your desire to regulate my ability to invest when there are many other investments that have equal or more risk. This is devastating to me.

I am a strong believer in regulating the financial industry to prevent cheating. These restrictions to my right to invest seem superfluous and damaging to a free market. Hands off please!

NO ON 22-08!!!!!!!!!

I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing.
