Comments: I regularly trade inverse funds. I don't find them "complex" at all. Inverse funds are short which ever index they cover and go up when that index goes down. As I am a very small trader it is the safest and easiest way to short the market. If you take this away from me I will have to short individual stocks which is much more risky due to factors involved in individual companies.

I know that inverse funds "degrade" when the market is going up therefore I avoid them. My brokerage gives full disclosure regarding this.

It is unfair to take away these investment products from retail investors and traders while the institutions enjoy the access to plethora of information and sophisticated tools and algorithms to profit from the market.

Anyone that has a brokerage account should be able to buy and sell any public traded stock or etf. It is up to the investor to evaluate the risk not up to regulatory groups. Please continue to allow personal trading as a person sees fit to do for their own situations.

Limiting someones ability to invest in any public securities should only be limited to what they can buy in cash and margin should not be used.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds - funds that are already approved and trading, and which comprise a relatively small share of my portfolio. I understand the risks that are involved, and I have had to express my views on risk regarding investment strategies to my online broker to be able to trade in the first place.

I am a user of the referenced types of funds. I think strong and simple warnings (perhaps enhanced, with some check-off from a user), at most, are adequate to support informed and free choices, and handle the concerns here.

Hi,
I believe the ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds are important part of investing. It is a great way to hedge when used responsibly as limited part of my overall portfolio. It is imperative to have access as this type of investment allows me to invest peacefully during chaotic times as I know I have protection.
Please allow us to continue to have access!

Retail investors should have the freedom to choose whatever investment that is right for them. You are attempting to put a paywall in front of instruments making it only available to a select few individuals

The ability to use leveraged and inverse funds is a vital way to hedge against your portfolio. If you limit the use of these funds in any way you are creating more risk for investors. This would be a huge mistake!!!! Barry Schutsky

In today's world we, the public, need alternative ways to invest. we do not need government interference to tell us what is good and bad for us. look at what government did with the virus, screwed up the world. If you want to control something do not let our legislative body have free access to information and then allow them to act on the information. what is good for thee is good for me. any ill gotten gains by the legislative body should be shared by all.
