The investor or trader should be entitled to make their own investment decisions if they so choose to do so. Limiting the ability of individuals to do so should not be allowed as it is a violation of personal rights of free speech which is protected under our constitution. If I as an investor choose to invest or trade in any one kind of investment I consider that to be my business, not the business of some government bureaucrat that probably has no idea of how to invest or trade for themselves.

Investors accept risk (a little or a lot) when they invest in leveraged or inverse funds. Please do not impose restrictions that violate our freedom to invest freely. This is OUR money that we have earned and Investors invest at THEIR own risk. I am a fully licensed investment advisor rep. I know what I am talking about. Thank you

Regulators should not limit leveraged etfs to individuals

This is an outrageous suppression of the common person to save high return investments for the wealthy only. This is an outrage. Excluding lower income individuals from the potential benefits of investment would push our country further into a debt slave society that it is quickly becomming.

This is absolutely crazy.

Institutional investors and others have long had access to and the ability to invest in equities that were never available to the public, including pre-IPO, private placements, and other vehicles to either hedge their investments or generate returns they would otherwise not see.

I support leveraged and inverse etf

My ability to freely invest in all public securities, especially leveraged and inverse funds, should not be restricted in any way. For years I have successfully made investments in such funds, and in particular, appreciate the ability to hedge potential losses using inverse funds when the market has become overbought. Small investors such as myself should be afforded the same freedom to invest in these funds as the big brokerages have. Fair is Fair. Do NOT restrict the ability for individual investors to continue freely investing in all such public securities.

Hello. Trading in these leveraged ETFs has changed my life.

I should have the freedom to invest in the manner as I see fit. No regulations.

why are you trying to limit 2x and 3x leveraged index etfs?

before you even thinking of that why dont you outlaw the entire Options industry where leverage is significantly higher sometimes 10x. and the derivative expires MOST of the time worthless causing 100% loss.
