Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies because I dont do futures or options.

I'd like to express my disagreement with the rule that would restrict access to certain investment strategies to only the privileged. If we're to maintain a free and fair capitalist environment by allowing everyone the ability to place their money in the markets, wherever they should be, should be allowed.

Leveraged ETFs are a simpler way of safely leveraging up a portion your stock and bond allocation compared to a margin loan or pledged asset line. I am for the continued existence of 2X and 3X leveraged ETFs so I can set my own asset allocation.

I object to the restrictions the Government wants to place on these type of investments.

It's just another example of the government saying it knows what is best.

why should faceless regulators tell me what I can or canot invest in?

This is another example of government over-reach. I should be able to choose the public investments that I deem are appropriate for my goals! I am quite capable of understanding risks associated with securities, as well as those associated with crypto-funds such as BITO. I do not need special processes passed on to me to pass a test, nor approval of my broker.

I believe I should be able to choose whatever investments I feel are right for me and my family. There is no need to go through any special processes like passing a test, before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Those measures should not be imposed on me. I often use inverse funds to protect my portfolio or to increase my returns when the market moves against me. Therefore I am against the proposed changes.

Please do not take away my right to invest in leveraged etfs. I understand the risk involved. I can buy apple stock or leveraged etfs and potentially lose every dollar I invest. One can only lose the amount of money they invest in leveraged etfs unlike options where your loss can be infinite. Why is this being targeted? I question the intentions behind this. Please do not overstep your reach!

Every citizen in the United States should be able to invest in any stock in this United States it should not be limited to the rich evil pigs that rule this country your time will be finished soon because God has started tribulations

Individuals, NOT regulators, should be able to choose our investments. There should not be a special process so individuals cannot use inverse for leveraged funds. I am fully capable of making my own investment decisions. Are they any more dangerous than investing in NETFLIX that can drop 25 to 30% in one day, NO!! Leveraged and inverse funds are important way to protect investments on market pull backs. These are important investment strategies. DO NOT REGULATE!!!!
