To whom it may concern,

Please do not restrict the usage of leveraged and/or inverse funds. They serve a great purpose in hedging one's assets or enhancing returns. I'm very clear on how these products work and there is no reason regulators should be restricting my ability to invest or my strategies.

I respectfully request that individual investors such as myself be continued to be provided with the opportunity to invest the leveraged investment products, inverse or otherwise. I understand that long term investment in leveraged inverse products are very risky. However, I use these products for short term hedging purposes, and without them my investment portfolio would be subject to an unacceptable level of risk especially during highly volatile periods. Thank you for your consideration.

I am an adult, have free right to choose my investment. Don't restrict the short ETF. American stock market needs it to cool down and control our desires.

Public investments should be available to all of the public. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies!

I oppose this regulation

The ability for individual investors should never be restricted or otherwise limited by the Government. Investment opportunities should not be limited. Investors are capable of making decisions and should not have their hands tied in doing so by having regulations put into place that limit their ability to make their own investment decisions.

Implementation of this regulation to limit investment opportunities should NOT be put into place.

I invest in different securities to protect myself mostly from government decisions like this one. If this new policy is put into place I will most likely lose even more money from government incompetence. The congress over spends our money and produces nothing. The government needs to put their efforts into protecting our security and our economy.

Government regulations need to stop interrupting American citizens lives by taking away our freedom of choice and speech. We should be able to invest as freely as anyone else no matter their status or financial state. Free to choose is the right of ALL Americans. You have no right to take this away from anyone!!

It is not necessary to implement additional regulations on leveraged and inverse funds. It should be up to each investor to decide what to buy. Regulators should focus on hidden fees and unethical business practices that banks engage in.

This proposal reeks of special interest and lobbiest trying to eliminate these trading products from the retail investor so that only the "pro" traders have access.
I use these products to protect, and hedge my wealth from episodes like the 2010 flash crash. Taking away the tools that allow me to protect my account from predatory traders is akin to giving these parrasities the green light to further skew the already uneven playing field.
