It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

I should be able to invest my money the way I choose to invest it. My money my choice. Thank you,

I do not need regulations on risk. For a market to be fair, I must be able to assess my own risk. At the most, offer a signature requirement to accept risk. I do not hold anyone but myself liable for any losses that I have taken.

I have been using inverse funds as a hedging tool since they were first introduced. I am currently using them to minimize portfolio damage, both in equities and fixed income. I am not a "licensed professional" but have been doing self-directed investing for over 50 years. I am totally opposed to any restrictions on my ability to invest in all available funds beyond those already required by my broker and by IRA regulations.

I have been advised of the risk involved with investing in leveraged funds. It is my choice and I am willing to accept the risk associated with this type of investment.
I believe it is overreach when the regulators are attempting to restrict the type of investments a holder may purchase. There is no need for regulation to restrict investors from investing in their choice of funds.

Please don't block us from trading leveraged ETFs.

As my investments are managed by a Fiduciary 3rd Party Investment firm I trust they know what they are doing and these restrictions on my ability to invest MY MONEY is another government overreach.
I have the financial security to tap into these more aggressive strategies that help build reasonable overall return given these times of severe inflation and horrible fixed income ROIs. Please place your focus on the cheaters and not the individuals just using the legal resources and tools to get ahead.

It is my right to succeed or fail by my own decisions , not based on government control. The American government is to big and uncontrollable. State sponsored leadership.

I believe this proposed regulation is unnecessary and an overreach. I fully understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't believe I should have to take any "tests" to prove that I understand what I am doing. I use them as part of my overall investment strategy to manage my risks and/or enhance my returns. These types of investments are only a limited part of my total investment picture as I understand the nature of having a diversified portfolio. Thank-you !
