This is my right to trade and invest the leveraged investment, this kind of investments should be available to all public not just the privileged.

It's unnecessary to go through any special process a test before I can invest in public securities like those leveraged funds. I'm really aware of the how the leveraged and inverse funds works and their risk.

Leveraged and inverse funds are very important to my investment strategies. In the long run I can use it to gain better return. In volatile market, I can use product like UVXY to hedge my position.

I oppose limitations on investments.

I'm very unhappy with Government deciding what I can and can not invest in.. The Bigger concern of mine is Insider Trading by Government officials.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to our investment strategies. Leveraged etfs will run well with enhanced return if the trend is up whereas inverse ETFs help to protect our investments during market correction and downtrend. Hence, public investments, especially hedging, should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged and wealthy ones. Investment is for long term in the broad market indices. From 1931 to 1971, stock equities appreciate 450%.

I regularly maintain positions in 2x leveled ets for the purpose of hedging and to maximize my upside without the use of margin debt or options with expiration dates. Products like SSO and QLD allow me to be patient, as well as invest less cash to achieve the same or similar performance as spy and qqq; each of which require putting up double the cash at risk.

I am writing to object to the subject proposed regulations. I do not believe an investor should have to go through any special process such as passing a competency test before one can invest in public securities such as leveraged or inverse funds. As with any investment, one is PERSONALLY responsible for understanding the goals and objectives by which the fund operates and the inherent risks in that particular investment. Leveraged and inverse funds and especially risk prone but such opportunities are needed to leverage one's portfolio.

I invest in leveraged funds, and I am completely against this proposal. Specifically, I combine the leveraged funds with the non-leveraged versions of the same targeted index to achieve my desired level of leverage. While my returns obviously lag the index in adverse market conditions, I vastly outperform the market in up periods. I never use the inverse funds, but I always incorporate the leveraged long funds (specifically TQQQ and UPRO) into my investment plan, and would most definitely be negatively affected by this proposed rule.

Investing should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Regulators SHOULD NOT choose what investments are right for me. These regulations take away my rights as an investor.

Please do not further regulate the leveraged asset classes. They are apart of my diversified portfolio and I accept the risks associated with ownership.

This proposed change to regulations is completely unacceptable. I should have the freedom to invest in leverage or inverse trades without additional restrictions.
