I am not an accredited investor. I am an individual managing my own accounts. All of the funds you are proposing to regulate are important tools to my investing strategies. Inverse funds are important to offsetting long term positions in counter trend rallies. They are also the only tools available to me to invest in during down trends.

Commodities are also currently an important group in producing positive returns

I understand per the FINRA Reg Notice #22-08 I may not be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds and dozens of other popular investments deemed to be complex. Please reconsider this negative stance. My broker/financial expert has my permission to make investment decisions, including into leveraged and inverse funds. He is knowledgeable and very capable of making financial decisions for me. That is why I signed up with his firm.

You need to place your attention towards all of the congressmen who have access to insider trading they all leave office as millionaires...so go get them to make a fair playing field and lay off the American investor who knows the risks....so leave us alone and allow the market to have both ProShares and Ishares without you sticking your noses in and allow our marketplace to remain an open trading market without your fingers in it....and stop regulating the market and go after all of the govt.

Limiting investors in any manner from public market participation - whether in leveraged or inverse funds - is a terrible concept which runs counter to maintaining liquid, free and open capital markets. Brokerage firms and RIAs already are adept at advising clients as to the suitability of investments, and investors should not be precluded from participating in such public market investments generally nor should they be exposed to the type of requirements typically imposed on them before they can participate in private market alternatives.

I oppose the proposed restrictions on inverse and leveraged funds.
They are a part of the investment toolkit used in my portfolio.
These products are sufficiently documented in their prospectus.
As an individual investor I assume the risk of making my own decisions and am capable of making my own decisions.
Limiting these products to only high-net worth investors is inherently unfair and promotes wealth inequalities as these products are essential tools for hedging my portfolio.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are necessary for many of my trading strategies. Don't be stupid, let people invest in what they want

NO regulator should choose the public investment that are right for me. There should not be any special process to go through to trade leverage and inverse funds if i want to trade them. Leverage and inverse funds are a big part of my trading. I some time use it as a hedge fund. I understand all risk and trade responsable. I don't need a regulator to tell me how to trade them. Since i have retired and inflation is out the roof it is more important i trade stocks and ETF's know than every. It make it where i can make ends meet and survive.

Please consider preserving the rights of investors, such as myself, to invest in public securities (Complex Products). Allow people to think and act for themselves without undue regulation or restrictions! Thank you.

I feel it should be up to the investor to determine how he or she invest their hard earned money not a regulator. Some investors dont want to own individual stocks. They would rather just play what direction the market is trending at any particular month, quarter or year. These leveraged and inverse funds are extremely important to my investment strategies. I protects me from being exposed to individual companies that make poor choices.

Please keep the existing rules in place. This isn't the time to be making changes for 3x, 2x funds while the market is at its current status. Thanks for your consideration.
