Allison Tom Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

We as individual investors should have the choice and option to decide which investments are best for us. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Especially in 2022, diversity and inclusion is extremely important, allowing all people to learn and make decisions that are best for themselves, not regulators.

Leveraged and inverse funds are an important investment strategy. These funds provide enhanced exposure without additional capital by using debt.

Michael Buckley Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I have been safely and profitably investing in a leveraged, inverse fund for years in taxed and tax-deferred accounts.and have been investing in stocks, bonds and derivatives for decades. Leveraged, inverse funds are only a small part of my investment portfolio and are an even smaller part of my net worth. I understand the risks and mitigate them by buying shares only when the risk is relatively low and the opportunity for profit is relatively high. So, I don't want the government allegedly protecting me by issuing regulations that limit my investing opportunities.

Robert Zizzi Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

My name is Robert. P. Zizzi. I have been investing in the markets for over 55 years, and I certainly don't need someone telling me suddenly what I can and cannot invest in when it comes to my portfolio and publicly traded securities. I have invested in both Put and Call options and ETFs and ETNs many times in order hedge and leverage my investments and am doing so very well currently. Trying to make these products available to only a few rich insiders is just another way to allow "Insider Trading" for the well connected.

Joseph Granuzzo Comment On Regulatory Notice 22-08

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in Proshares. Investing in any stocks should be allowed to for our future ,with Inverse funds to invest for the public levels the playing field. If you all wanted to get rid of our oppertunity to invest in Proshares, you should of placed restrictions on them in 2008 when you all new the market would be going up for 14 years and Proshares were going down. Now that the market is shifting to the downside you want to place restrictions on them, how unfair that would be to all of us.
