To whom it may concern
The small investor does not have the tools available to larger investors
Please dont limit the ability of small time investors to take advantage of market conditions
Thank you

I oppose restrictions on my investment choices. I should be able to invest my own money as I see fit, no one else can make that decision better than I can. Leveraged and inverse funds are a limmmmited but important to my investment portfolio and long term strategies. I do not want to lose that option.

Dear Regulators, I have been invested in leverage and inverted ETF funds as part of my personal and IRA investment account portfolio over the last fifteen years. I found them extremely helpful to be able to invest in a specific market sector to diversify or as a hedge to my position. It can avoid some of the risk of picking a wrong stock. Please do not limit the investors' choice of investment. These are very useful products and they had helped me to tremendously over the years.
Thanks and regards,

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. Do not put on any restrictions on leveraged funds.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. This proposition does not help individual investors, but instead further divides the retail investor from the capability of the institutional investor. I do not support the proposed restrictions.

Leveraged funds are less risky than buying options. Doing this will push investors into even riskier securities

We should be expanding rights not retracting them and limiting them to those only in positions of power and status

Please let us trade like others. We are already limited. please.

They provide a valuable tool to improve market returns . ANybody who invests should be aware of the risks involved. It is a very valuable tool available for ordinary investors so as to level the playing field . I believe is democratizing investment. A portfolio investing say around 30% in triple leveraged index fund and rest of the money in a bond fund to hedge against significant market risk is likely will outperform the index fund. I strongly believe that exposure and availability is essential to a healthy democratized investment market rather than regulating it further

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I, not you (the regulators) should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I shouldnt need to take any kind of special process to allow us to invest our hard earned money into leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risks that are made and should only be my choice to decide. I do not need the measures that are being imposed on me or any other investor who uses these funds to hedge in order to protect our capital.
