Please don't add additional burdens on investors to invest in products like inverse or leveraged funds. I use these in my own investment strategies and are excellent choices. It removes the need for trading on margin which is important for IRAs. These choices should be available for all investors, not just wealthy people or the so called sophisticated investor. Removing these options will only hurt investors options by not allowing them access to newly created products. All investments have risk.

I'm a regular person with no specific or formal financial training or education. But I've educated myself in financial matters and desire the right to invest in what I want to invest in and what I believe makes sense for my financial situation. Preventing me from investing in leveraged and inverse funds is unnecessary government overreach.

Why are Americans losing our ability to make our own choices regarding what we feel is best for us? We don't need regulators to do all of our thinking and making choices they think are best for us. No one knows what is best for someone except that person. WE DO NOT NEED NOR WANT MORE OF OUR CHOICES TO BE MADE BY A COMMITTEE,GOVERNMENT / NON-GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INDIVIDUAL TO CHOSE FOR US. LET US MAKE FREE CHOICES THAT WE WANT.

Freedom to trade in the stock market should not be hindered in order to give others an advantage. Also, trading on uptrends and downtrends should not be hindered since its a natural movement of stock market price action.

I had been investing in stock market for long time. I have the knowledge and means to invest the way I want without government regulators telling me what to do. I have used leveraged funds to enhance my returns. Therefore, I'm oppose this governmental interference.

I realize that you think you need to protect the public. If this is the case why not just restrict all of these types of plans. Putting restrictions in place so that a select few can use these investment vehicles makes it look like you are trying to create a protected class of people that can invest in this way. Don't they already have an advantage because of the way brokers treat them.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am concerned about possible restrictions to retail investors discussed in Notice 22-08. I currently personally use these types of "complex" investments to hedge against things like inflation or recession. These types ETFs make these investments accessible to people who are not institutional investors. I am concerned that the changes discussed will limit these investments to only the rich. This will provide the rich with an additional tool in their toolbox to become even richer, while the middle class will not have access to this tool.

I do oppose restrictions on my right to invest. I should be able to choose the investments that are right for my situation and time frame.

I believe as Americans we have the the right to invest and gain or loss is going to happen. Over regulating is unnecessary because it stifles our options.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investing. I am able to enhance my returns in this market. In turn, this allows me to take reduced risks in the "main" portion of my portfolio, especially to wait in cash until this market bottoms out or settles out. having some sort of imposed "cooling off" period may not allow me to take advantage of market conditions. This aspect I am highly opposed.
