I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I should be able to choose any public investment vehicle that I decide is correct for my risk tolerance and situation. I shouldn't have to go through any special process to determine that. I am capable of understanding the risks without additional measures imposed on me. Leveraged ETF are important strategies I use to reduce risk in other investments and are part of my overall investment strategy.

I find it it incredibly demeaning that the same people who want to do this to us refuse to regulate themselves. Laws against insider trading for Congress continue to fail while they try and tighten the screws on us. Secondly, this is another way to inhibit short selling. You can't just make us buy stocks and bonds and manipulate the market up and to the right. Let the market work on its own.

To Regulators,

I oppose restrictions on my choices of investments.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me - not regulators.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the wealthy or politically connected.

Leveraged and inverse funds have been important tools for a middle class investor such as myself to help protect myself during volatility in the market. I am fully capable of understanding them. Losing access to them would be a crime to the middle class and small investor and a blow to inequality.

You are not smarter than I am. Please don't limit what I can buy and add more burden in doing so.

I am strongly against this special rule:Regulatory Notice #22-08.
