This proposal one of many corrupt measures being proposed. It is clear from the details of the proposed regulations that wealthy individuals will conveniently meet the requirements while small investors and individuals in the middle class will be prevented from investing in leveraged funds. We do not need more regulation in the markets.

Using leveraged funds provides me a great opportunity to improve my performance and hedge my investments against market cycles. Taking away these investments at this time would drastically affect my ability to invest especially doing it when the market is down a large percentage already this year. Anybody who makes investments in these products is already warned with a message/notice about the risk involved plus they must verify they understand these risks by their broker.

Banning these trades would make no sense. What is the difference between this and micro stocks? Or putting all of your portfolio into a weekly option. Any stock can go to zero. Everything has risk and reward. And the timing behind this when they are in a downdraw like thr entire market is ludicrous. If you ban this you need to ban all stock trading.

I am bumping up against this issue on IBKR. When I invest, I like to be able to choose what I do - regardless of risk. I don't mind if the Brokerage wants to supply me with information, but I do not wish to be controlled. My financials are not controlled in other areas of my life and I can easily lose large amounts of money in many different ways. I am an adult; inform me, keeping the playing field fair and then let me decide.

With a paternalistic misguided view that you are protecting retail, you are in fact restricting risk management actions that can be taken by retail. And in the middle of a correction! Inverse ETFs are liquid and can be sized appropriately while selling covered calls cannot be. And institutions are allowed to trade options during hours retail is not, further impeding my risk management efforts. Leveraged ETFs often trade at lower dollar prices, allowing retail to participate in higher dollar stocks and reduces capital at risk.

If I am restricted on investing, I automatically lose interest in all securities and participation within the economy.

Leave our investments alone! We, know better than you, what is in best interest of our own family! AN I do not need your tests, before I can buy public securities! AN I do not need any of these measures imposed on me! Or anyone, else either! I know the riskes.. I am not a TOTAL IDIOT, LIKE SOME PEOPLE!! AN I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING IMPOSED ON ME, IT IS LAND OF FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE, FREE SPEECH, WE, ARE FREE PEOPLE, AN THANKS, TO CONSTITUTION U, NEED TO LEAVE THIS TOTALLY ALONE,!!!! AN I DO NOT NEED ANY REGULARS TELLING ME OR ANYONE ELSE WHAT TO DO!!! STOP!

LEAVE MY MONEY ALONE.

I have been trading 3x leveraged funds for 12 years, namely TQQQ but many others including UDOW which I consider a very safe investment long term.

There is absolutely no reason to impose any regulations on leveraged/inverse funds. Investing by nature is risky whether its leveraged or not. The overwhelming majority of people know this. We dont need your nanny state nonsense taking care of us. Let people learn the greatest investment lessons of all by being responsible for the decisions they make.
