Myselfnot unelected regulatorsshould be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just those who can demonstrate a high net worth or income. Myself, and most all educated investors, are capable of understanding the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. We do not need the government to protect us from ourselves.

I think that imposing regulations in terms of what people are allowed and not allowed to invest in is discriminatory arbitrary. I think people should be allowed to invest their hard earned money the way they best see fit. This regulation has the potential to descriminate against every day working people while more affluent folks are allowed to continue their use. I very much want to continue my use of these products and I hope you reconsider restricting them so that every day investors like me can continue to benefit from them.

I am vehemently opposed to any changes regarding leveraged ETFs. We should be able to make our own decisions with our own money. I use small amounts of leverage within my own risk profile. I fully understand the risks, and I've both hedged against them, and will not be wiped out if my leveraged investments go to zero. Removing this ability would greatly harm informed users.

Leverage is an integral part of my investment strategy, and removing the ability to trade with it will harm regular investors such as myself. Please reconsider this change.
