How dare you try to limit what I can and can not buy. It is absolutely none of your business what I do with my money as long as my actions fit within the confines of the law. Risk is an inherent factor of market involvement and it is each investor's duty to mitigate that risk for themselves, not yours. Imposing arbitrary limitations limits both the agency of the investor and their goals rather than offering retail investors the "protection" that you tout.

I oppose restrictions on my ability to invest in any publicly available investment product(s). I should not be forced to go thru any special process for this purpose

As an investor in leveraged ETFs, I oppose adding additional requirements to be able to invest in them. There are already very aggressive warnings against investing in leveraged ETFs on the brokerage sites that I've used (specifically Fidelity and Schwab). These extra warnings informed me that these products are not suitable for most investors and made you acknowledge that these investments are more risky than normal stocks or ETFs. These warnings were enough to scare me away from investing in leveraged ETFs for several years before I felt comfortable enough doing so.

I am totally against any regulation for trading leverage funds

We should be able to choose our own investments as well as rick level.

I would like to choose who and how I would invest in, I don't need the govt telling me what and how I can insure my lively hood.

Had I not been able to invest in PROSHARES TRUST II my net worth would be less. I see NO difference investing in it compared to stocks that fluctuate such as TESLA,RIVIAN ETC. WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.

I believe that individual investors should not be restricted from the purchase or sale of inverse or leveraged funds. Individual investors should be able to choose the publicly listed securities that are right for their risk and return objectives without going through extra steps such as income/asset verification, knowledge tests, or any other special process.

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me protect my investments or seek enhanced returns.

I do not want to lose the opportunity to trade in leveraged funds, as it has helped me enormously in hedging.
