I oppose new rule making that would make leveraged and inverse ETFs difficult or impossible for normal investors to buy. I have used these sorts of ETFs in the past profitably for both hedging risks and investment purposes. I believe these products are both understandable and useful to the average investor.

Given the recent blow-up of so-called qualified investors and family offices like Bill Hwang, I would much rather regulators focus their time on tightening the rules in places that are systemically important, like large private funds rather than on small individual investors.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment activities. I invest only the amounts that I can afford to loose. I want to be free to choose where to invest my money without being surveilled by the government. The government already regulates so many aspects of our life. We do not need one more set of regulations.

I will like to keep SQQQ and SDOW.

There are plenty of warnings before you invest in the funds in question. This funds help average investors generate alpha in their portfolios. Please don't take away this tool. I don't want to be limited to options!

- 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).
