I do not agree with the regulations that are being propose for Leverage or inverse ETFs. They are an investment tool that have produce great results for me and my family. This regulations could hurt my ability to make money with these tools. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public

Traded securities including leveraged and inverse funds should be open to everyone and not just the rich or the privileged. Their risk is not greater than picking a security that may go down to zero (Kodak, Sears etc.). As a matter of fact, they are safer than single stocks, penny stocks, highly leveraged companies etc. because they represent an investment in an index of multiple companies. Going this way is a absolutely a terrible idea because where does it stop? Are we going to ask brokers to interview their clients before each trade?

It's not the place of federal regulators to decide whether an investor is "smart enough" for particular commodities, nor to impose means testing that discriminates against the less affluent. Further, such rules could impose a disparate impact on minority communities given the current wealth distribution, and village civil rights laws.

Let us do what we need to stop the control.....

I oppose the proposed restrictions on securities that the public is able to buy. I understand the risks of such securities and believe the freedom to choose is important to being an investor. Thank you.

I oppose limitations on my investments in leveraged and inverse funds. I want to be able to invest freely.

Leave crypto currencies alone. Let us invest in what we want and how.

I am writing to oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. As a first-generation investor, leveraged and inverse funds have helped me to secure a more secure future for me and my family. My first investment was small, and has helped us buy our first home, pay off debt, pay for quality education and child care, and care for my aging parents between paying for elder care and covering lost wages from taking time off of work. I do not want to lose my right to invest for the future of my family, and of those I seek to help with the profits of those investments.

I have been an investor for more then 40 years and own all types of risk assets including stock and bond ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities in every industry, highly risky and rarely successful option trades and leverages and short funds.

Its up to investors and brokers to fulfill educational requirements around suitability and best interests around investing decisions. These are safer than using long call options with more time decay and timing risk.
