I am aware of the risks of using leveraged and inverse funds, since I have been studying them for 6 years. I also have a strategy to use them. I am not risking all of my portfolio, but only a very small percentage, which doesn't impact my long-term investments. Using leveraged and inverse funds are important for my strategies. For these reasons I do not need these measures that are being imposed on me.

I don't want my rights to invest in leveraged ETF be limited under the pretext to care about my ability to make my own decisions. I am a mature adult who understands the risks related to making financial decisions to invest in such a funds.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me at my own risk. I understand the risk, and am willing to take the risk. I only put a small amount (<10%) in this type of investments. I do not wish to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, including leveraged and inverse funds.

I have learned of your proposed new restrictions on my ability to purchase leveraged ETF shares. This is a mistake. I need to be able easily to use that kind of vehicle. I have used those for years without any problem. When the tape has gone against me I have had no problem accepting responsibility for those losses. I do not need to be protected by the government. Thank you.

Do not allow this to happen, we all have a right to invest and educate ourselves. We dont all have the means of higher education!

There is no need to start regulating leveraged ETF's. Each and every person should be able to trade what they want at their own risk.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest!!!!

I have held these type of investments in my portfolio for many years.These funds are a limited percentage of my portfolio. However, they have enhanced my bottom line significantly. Regulators have absolutely no business restricting me on my investment decisions. What makes you think that you can make better financial decisions than I can? Further, I make all of my own investment choices and before I make an investment choice I do research, and I certainly do not need to take any kind of test. Please stay out of investment plan and choices

I have been using leveraged funds for years. People should have the freedom to choose their investment vehicles. Risks are on their shoulders. You learn from both good and bad experiences when investing. Please don't limit the options available to the every day investor.

ProShares ETFs have provided me a simple mechanism to hedge some assets to my best expectation of market behavior. In the 3 years Ive used them they have accurately tracked what they are supposed to, and Ive been able to make adjustments as needed. There are far more complicated and risky choices that I would take if these werent available. Please dont limit my access to these in the effort to protect me. Thank you for your consideration.
