Dear Sirs, I believe our ability to buy inverse ETFs should not be limited, for the following reason: Betting against a given stock, fund or commodity is a valid and, mostly, healthy way to establish a fair valuation of such. However, short sales, put options and futures are more dangerous than inverse ETFs, where one's losses are limited to the amount invested.

I oppose the proposed restrictions on my right to invest in public investments.

I fail to understand why I, an investor, am being restricted from investing in any and all investment vehicles available on the open market. For a country that touts itself as a "free, open, and fair market", restricting me, a retail investor, from using the same investment vehicles available to professional investors is a flagrant and unabashed infringement upon a "free, open, and fair market". Inverse and leveraged funds are a means, like the professionals use, to control risk. They are integral to helping me manage my risk/reward profile.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities. I see future in crypto currency and would like to make it part of my investment portfolios.

Investors should be able to choose what to invest not by regulators.

To Whom It May Concern,

Leveraged funds provide the opportunity for growth with limited downside for investors. While more volatile, the risk/return ratio for a triple leveraged S&P fund would be close to the same as a regular index fund. There is risk in any investment. With leveraged etfs, your investment is more diversified than investing in individual securities. Please keep the free market free! As long as there is no fraud and no one is being preyed upon, you should be able to make investment choices on your own.

It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except the rich people. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged or inverse funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

Let all investors be able to freely invest in fund they choose without buying restrictions or any extra steps

Please don't limit my ability to invest in leveraged funds. I have use them for many years and think they are useful investment tools. These tools should not be limited to an elite few. James Elliott [REDACTED]
