- Individual investors should be able to make their own risk decisions - Investors can obtain leverage through margin. The amount of leverage can be adjusted by the investor. Leveraged funds are different in that the leverage is predetermined and formulaic. The risks are well known at this point and appropriately explained in the relevant prospectus. Most individual investors can gain leverage through margin without a reference to the same risk factors. - Investor education is important, rather than restrictions based on an arbitrary net worth limit.

Please do not take away our ability to use public securities like leveraged and inversed funds without taking tests. I have over 20 years of expedience using them. They are a small part of my portfolio, but important as a safety hedge.

I respect the right of regulators to watch out for retail investors, but I do not need you to limit my access to leveraged financial products. Similar to PDT rules, these are impotent and silly regulations. Please reconsider your decision to pursue this course of action.

You are handicapping families who have finra related compliance rules from freely trading the market. We are already limited by minimal holding periods and denial of derivative products.

I don't like how big banks believe they need to have their hands in everyone's monet constantly.

It is my right to invest my own money. Especially, when government forces me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds to keep up with inflation caused by its irresponsible policies (stimulus + free money).

I am an individual investor with approximately 40 years of investment experience. From time to time, based on market conditions, I have found it prudent to invest in leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs). Now is such a time, and I currently have a small investment in such a fund. I want to be able to continue to make such investments as I see fit, based on my own knowledge and experience, without having to abide by any additional regulatory requirements.

To whom it may concern; Enough with the threatened imposed regulations and allow for an individual to make their own financial decisions. Public investments should be available to all and NOT a select few by your judgmental criteria basis. I do not need to have any additional regulation measures imposed on actions that I choose to take as an adult and being fully capable of making my own choices. This is a strategic and calculated investment option for those who wish to have control over their investments and their own risk tolerance criteria. This is a choice. Keep it a choice.

Do not restrict the ability to trade leveraged funds

I oppose having these types of funds being removed/further regulated. Each investor should be able to make their own informed decisions.
