Please cease your attempts to restrict my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing! Why are you and the federal government trying to control every decision that an individual makes?!

In the past 20 or so years, we have had three major market corrections of approximately 37%, 40% and 50%. In all of those cases, it would take close to 10 years to recover the losses, based on normal rates of returns (for example, a 50% drop requires 100% returns to become whole). If you started retirement savings at a time later than ideal, for any number of reasons, you need the ability to try to retire at acceptable levels, and leveraged funds can allow this to take place.

Keep your nose out of our business and your hands off our money.
Thank you, please.

Pls allow investments

I want to be allowed to make my own financial decisions unrestrained by govt controls. Levereaged and inverse funds are useful and important parts of my investement strategy

There are worse investments in the IPO world that really should be more regulated . The IPO's are a lot more risky that the majority of Leveraged and inverse funds. No one seems to care on the pump and dumps that happen every week! They are a lot more dangerous that the Leveraged and inverse ETF's !

I completely disagree with the notion to take away people's rights to invest in products that level the playing field, make them money in good markets, and hedge their risk in poor markets. The stock market is a marketplace for everyone and people should continue to keep their rights to invest in what they want to in the public markets, without greater regulatory scrutiny. Thank you.

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Please allow me to trade leveraged stocks and etfs like SQQQ and TQQQ. Without extra regulations!

Thank you

Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Im retired. Im a former CPA and have studied investments for many years. Between managed funds with high fees and questionable performance, I prefer to manage my own portfolio and other investments.
I currently hold two leveraged investments. One a mutual fund and one is an ETF. They represent a very small part of my equity holdings. Their performance has been exceptional but because of inherent volatility I choose to limit exposure.
My freedom to invest would be denigrated if the proposed regulations are implemented.
