I would urge you not to place any new restrictions on leveraged ETF products. I am a retail investor and am interested in investing in these products for a small part of my portfolio as part of a high risk / high reward investment. Leveraged strategies have been used by large institutional and high net worth investors for some time and leveraged ETFs democratize access to them. It isn't fair to restrict access to leveraged ETFs while continuing to allow institutions or large individual investors to invest with leverage using other methods.

I understand the complex nature of these investment products. I like how the lower market price of these index price values compared to the S&P market value prices allow for smaller investors to capitalize on S&P 500 market value fluctuation values. We as smaller value investors need the ability to invest in larger markets without restriction.

I am not a professional trader, but as any mom-and-pop trader I know the risks associated with trading inverse and leveraged funds. I don't need any additional regulations as it may only damage the free market.

I have been trading levered products for over 10 years now and hope to be able to have the option of doing so unfettered by unnecessary restrictions/regulations in the future.
While I agree that there are investors/traders in the market that use these instruments that are not fully aware of what they really are, the same can absolutely be said about every other ETF type products available on the market today as well as individual stocks by the way to a lesser degree. And since many traders - retail and larger investors alike - trade on margin, the leverage effect is the same.

Stop interceding into individual lives and freedoms of Americans. The risk an individual takes is on that person alone. I dont need the government to restrict how I invest my money barring anything illicit, illegal, or detrimental to others.

If is extremely important for investors to decide what is safe and what is risky. You, the regulator, must ensure proper documentation is disclosed on the nature of investment indfrurmenf and no fraud is occurring.

Otherwise let capital markets operate freely for the "little" guys who aren't multi millionaires.

Leveraged and inverse funds areimportantto my investment strategies

I should be able to choose my investments without having to jump through more hoops!

I believe that I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself. I do not need the governments help. I also believe that public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I_ not the regulators_ should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all the public and not just the privileged. I am capable of understanding inverse funds and their risks and I don't need restrictive measures imposed on me. I trade _ not invest_ inverse funds using my own short term strategies to enhance
returns. I hold the funds for not more 3 to 4 days and then sell them.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I use these leveraged funds carefully and with precision! I 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!
