Gentle ladies and Gentlemen, I hope you do not prevent investors from using various forms of ETF's, structured funds, and all the other forms of investment vehicles that some of us like to use to protect and enhance our portfolios. Speaking for myself only, because I cannot speak for all the other market participants as there are too many and they have areas of expertise that I don't, some of those funds are a great help to me. In my case, I use leveraged funds which allows me to keep more of my resources in reserve rather than put them all at risk.

You are just trying to keep the little guy poor while you rig the markets for your gains. Just enforce the laws on the books

To Whom it May Concern:

I have been investing on my own for most of my adult life through a process that uses all means available to learn about the best methods and options to secure my family's future.

Investing is always risky, markets do not always continue to go up. However, through the use of leveraged funds I have an opportunity to boost my results above typical market returns while taking into consideration that these funds are only a complement to my overall investment strategy. I allocate their use with a small segment of my overall investments fully understanding the inherent risks.

This rules limits progress and hurts the working class account holder. I have met my goals only using leverage ETFs because I only had to use a portion of my capital for stock risk. And the rest in income producing assets! Please oppose this bill....and youll have my vote!

I oppose limitations on my ability to buy the Funds. Thank you.

This is not right by any measure of ethics

Violates the Existence of a Free Market is a basic principle of trading in the Stock Market. The inverse leveraged Securities have taken a Hugh Beating while the Indexes continued to rise.
Now that the Trends are changing Regulators are wanting to
place restrictions on these leveraged inverse funds.

Short Selling is not regulated and it is normally augured that it is necessary for a Free Market. If that is true, the same should apply to the leveraged and inverse funds.

I oppose this regulation because the etf/fund is already obligated by federal law to disclose risks and fees to the public. If a potential investor wants to invest in these securities, especially in a self directed brokerage account, they are acknowledging the disclosures laid out by the fund. Detailed disclosure is already listed in the fund/etf prospectus. Adding additional hurdles limits liquidity and free market investment

Hello,

I am adamantly opposed to any additional regulation on leveraged or inverse funds as they are important to our family's investment strategies and allow me to manage and reduce risk through their very structure.
