Keep The Market free.

I would like to be able to select the investments I would like to buy and this includes inverse and leveraged funds. I have made good money utilizing them in special situations when the time calls for it.

I've been investing all my life since childhood. Forcing me to liquidate my investments at the bottom of a recession would unfairly cause me capital losses and only benefit the exclusive 1% high net worth individuals that would benefit from leveraged funds. This is not in the fiduciary interest of the average investor. I'd probably as a result get out of investing in the market altogether as it's too rigged to benefit those in power.

It is my right to buy any stock I want and it is against the free market to limit my right! Also, I have lost since I bought my leveraged stock and I was not planning to sell it anytime soon. By selling my stock, you are forcing me to loose money in short term, which is not fair.

I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Hi there,
I am a long time investor (>10 years) in the stock market. I heard that there are some new regulations that are being considered to limit our abilities to buy certain "complex" funds. I understand the purpose is to protect investors but I strongly believe the right approach is to educate investors not to limit them. Thank you!

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

I am invested long term in a leveraged etf for almost a decade, and really dont see a problem I have read the prospectus carefully, understood the risks and rewards and decided to buy and hold!

This note is written to mention that I have been using the 2x and 3x leveraged ETF's for few years now and fully understand the risk of investing in it. With proper hedging strategies this helps me and my family invest our money effectively. As a personal investor it would be very disappointing if this investment vehicle is removed for us.
I would kindly request to take this into consideration so that this type of investment options are not given only to big investors but also allow smaller investors like me to effectively grow the portfolio.

I am a retired investor. I use these leveraged funds occasionally to lower my risk profile. I use them not to "make money" but as an effort to dampen volatility. I was heavily invested in these funds in 2008 financial crisis and they saved my portfolio from real economic damage. These funds are not complicated and any investor should be able to easily understand how they work. Please do no restrict them.
