Please consider my concern that additional burdens, placed by government, on my ability to select the investment vehicles of my choosing, is not merely unwanted, but antithetical to the entire concept of risk/reward, upon which our system is predicated. I strongly urge that regulations be focused exclusively on facilitating efficient investments and leave the particular manner, and options for investors be left to the investor and/or his/ her fiduciaries.

I dont want someone or regulators making decision on how do I invest my money.

To Whom it May Concern:

I am an active retail investor with a small portion of portfolio in leveraged and inverse funds.

During the recent market downturn, hedging against losses by investing in leveraged and inverse funds has helped me to beat the market over the past three months. Without access to these types of funds, my ability to respond to market forces would be substantially hampered.

During the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis, inverse funds saved my retirement. I also have occasionally used leveraged funds because of a 24-hr shortage of "settled" funds. I do not want or need the protection afforded by the proposed measures. The Fed has routinely created bubbles in various asset classes, incentivizing investors to use leveraged long funds as the bubble expands. Then, when the bubble inevitably pops, investors are incentivized to use short and leveraged short funds.

I use inverse funds to keep my savings from reducing because of inflation. In a time when stocks, bonds and cash are all loosing value, inverse funds are the easiest way to protect my savings. Put options are difficult to understand, and my brokerage will not let me short stocks directly.

If you want to discourage gambling tax trades and make casinos illegal.

Many legislators have misconceptions about leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. In reality, many individual investors use these funds to balance, hedge or protect their investments in their overall portfolios. Please take time to understand how these funds make sense for investors before restricting them.

I do not want any restriction for 3x index funds and I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

After taxes, the balance is MY money. It is MY decision what to do with it and NO ONE ELSEs.

I bear the risk. If you are going to impose rules on our investment choices, then you also need to cover our resultant losses. Are you planning to do that?

Hi, please consider my and other's opposition to restrictions on public investment. I request that investors themselves should continue to have the right to choose the investments they deem appropriate.
Leveraged funds are but one tool in my overall portfolio that allows me to hedge my investments and pursue enhanced returns.
I ask that you consider my views as you decide whether to embark on imposing restrictions on leveraged funds.

Hi my name is Bhailalbhai J Patel. I want to decide myself which investment is right for me.
