I use a bond price inverse/leveraged ETF to protect myself against rising interest rates. I do not want any restrictions against my use of this fund or any other inverse/leveraged ETF.
The Federal Reserve has promoted non market interest rates for years- to my detriment. If you want to regulated someone- try them.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in any public investments I choose and feel it is very unfair to hold these funds back for just the privileged. I am capable of understanding the risks involved by investing in leveraged and inverse funds and do not need to pass a test before investing. Trading the inverse funds in recent months has enhanced my returns a great deal with so much fluctuation all through each day; of course I've used them only as a very limited part of my overall portfolio.

I have been up and down with good times and bad times. I believe it is our choice to select any type of investment we deem fit. Restriction like this does not help your cause. It only make the riches more wealthy. Your decision or decisions like these are the reasons why the gap between the rich and poor gets bigger

I oppose this regulation

I do NOT support regulation of leveraged, inverse funds. I am aware of the risks such investments carry. Furthermore, I am an adult and wish to make my own investment decisions.

Please do NOT pass legislation/regulation effecting my ability to invest in leveraged/inverse ETF's.

Thank you,

This rule is excessive and unnecessary. Why would such a restriction be put in place ? The current process works. please keep current rules in place.

I am an adult, and can accept the responsibilities of my investing decisions. I don't need a regulator to tell me how to invest my personal finances. The lottery is perfectly legal and ran by governments as a tax on the poor.

Do not restrict our ability to buy leveraged ETFs. We are smart enough to know what we are doing and the ETF managers also know what theyre doing. No point in this whatsoever.

Before you restrict or remove an investors right to buy leveraged or inverse funds, you should consider that this structure allows educated investors to make these decisions without having to personally handle the underlying pieces that create these investments possible. Removal of these funds would not remove the risk, it would increase the risk as individuals do puts, calls, straddles, etc to have the desired investments.

Please dont force me to use margin to get similar exposure but with greater risk and expense.
