I should be able to invest my hard earned money in any investment I wish to make. The idea of having to take a test is appalling. If I wish to use leverage or inverse funds as my investment is my decision!!! I am more than capable of investing my $. You waste time thinking of how can we justify our existence by coming up with another regulation. Do you think people read your diatribe that you force on investors? We do not need another regulation!!

I don't want or need regulations to protect me from my investment decisions.

Please don't discontinue them for usm

I completely oppose restrictions on any leveraged ETFs for retail traders. This is our money and we demand the right to choose how we invest and trade. Are you going to restrict our ability to buy and sell options soon? Or how about simply prevent people from even trading stocks? Are you going to force us to put money in CDs only? One thing leads to another. The absurdity of preventing retail traders from investing in these vehicles is rediculous! Work on real issues like organized pump and dump scammers, not legit investment tools!

I oppose restrictions on my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds.

I already own some of thes accounts or they are in my strategy.

I began trading options more than 10 years ago. I studied with several teachers, able to use a practice account before trading live. I find option trading a way to limit my exposure to market risk, and still obtain the gains I want.
While my general approach is to hold ETFs, use both long, short options trades, as well as holding inverse ETFs to take advantage of market fluctuation.
I understand the risks of investing in the market, and there is risk in buying and holding stock/ETFs also.

To limit leveraged ETF funds to the Wall Street elite and the very wealthy would be inequitable. This would be one more step toward the economic equality in this country that has manifested over the past four decades. To have one set of rules for the rich and another for the middle class and lower class limits opportunity to invest and the chance to improve one's financial station in life. Individuals should be able to make their own financial decisions without unfair regulations.

Please do not limit my abilities to invest in 3 times leveraged and inverse ETFs

As an independant investor who regularly uses inverese etfs to hedge my protfolio. I urge you to drop these considered changes. I have done extensive research into each and every asset I have bought, and don't need to be protected from complex things. I can fend for myself and fully understand the risks involved in what we do for a living. Americans in the market have enough restrictions and taxes already hindering our abilities that other countries don't have. Please do not add more restrictions.
