Why is it that the government thinks they know what's best for me and I don't. In a country that is rapidly losing the basic freedoms promised to us, now you want to take away my financial freedoms. Inverse funds help me protect capital during periods of turmoil, high inflation, geopolitical risks, and government overspending, to name a few. Leveraged funds allow me to hedge my positions quickly, as I did during the pandemic crash and the financial crisis of 2008-09. It is not hard to understand these are short term instruments. I use these tools to hedge my stock positions.

Use your regulatory powers to stop insider trading. Use your regulatory powers to stop inflation. Use your regulatory powers to stop Musk buying Twitter, or other monopolistic situations of which there are many. Stop harassing the small investor. You remind me of the police cracking down on jay-walking. Try to use your powers for something worthwhile, instead of on petty populist actionism like this, pathetic: noone will respect you for it.

I wanted to further add that I do not agree with restrictions being placed that would limit access of public investments to the broad public and give access only to a select group of investors deemed worthy. Personally, I use such products not only as a way to enhance returns that could help secure my financial future, but also as a hedge (risk mitigating measure) to help protect my investments. Losing that ability would handcuff me from these key strategies that I employ within my portfolio.

I do NOT need regulators to protect me from myself! I should be about to choose my own public investments and not have your limitations imposed upon me.

With this regulation you are reducing the size of the market place and creating an unfair advantage to the a chosen portion of the investment community.

I OPPOSE this regulation!!!!!!

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.

Any restriction of investable assets has a large, negative affect on not only retail investors, but investors of IRA's and other retirement vehicles. Ever since the proliferation of online investing, the average American, and non-citizen has seen an unparalleled opportunity for wealth creation.

I am an individual investor and am unhappy to hear that there may be restrictions imposed upon my right to invest in certain public investments, such as inverse or leveraged funds. This is not a decision SOMEONE ELSE should make for ME or anyone else. I understand how such funds work and the risk associated with investing in them. I do not need additional hoops to jump through to make my investment choices and am capable of deciding the risk/reward profile I am comfortable with ON MY OWN.

Thank you, and have a great day!

I feel, there is NO investment that should have participation regulated by everyday people. Regulate the politicians, not the citizens.

Do not mess with ivestment methods which work well.If you have to do something spend your time trying to fix our governments national debt problem and how to to cut down the number of dead beats on its payroll

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I am more than capable of understanding my investments and their risks and I do not need
these measures imposed on me.
