I strongly oppose the proposed restrictions in trading leveraged securities. As part of my portfolio, I want to buy/sell these securities from time to time and don't want to see regulations complicate my ability to do so.

I am very disappointed with the proposal to restrict my ability to buy leveraged and inversed fund. I am perfectly capable of educating myself about those instruments and I don't need to pass any special test. I am using these instruments to reduce risk and they are very beneficial to my portfolio strategy. I hope you would not enact any restrictions on purchasing those instruments by individual investors.

These instruments provide important hedging protection during times of market volatility for investors. As most have wealth locked in the retirment accoutns, access to these in retirement account is critical.

Please do not limit my access to these funds. I perfectly well know what I am doing and do not need the additional administrative burden of complying with whatever "tests" are created.

[REDACTED] Inverse funds are essential in my portfolio strategy. Don't touch my ability to protect and hedge my positions.

Another regulation that shuts out the middle class, why do you need a high net worth to invest in public investments?
I am not in favor of these type of restrictions.

I am responsible for my own investments, and for the risks I am willing to accept. Do not play big government that thinks it knows better than I do about the risks I am willing to accept. I am college educated and have been invested for decades. Please leave my investment decisions up to me and do not interfere with my right to invest as I please.

Leveraged security and option instruments are important components of both my short and long term investment plans. Over-regulating these financial instruments could potentially cause great financial harm and substantially reduce future returns. Limiting investments to only individuals of high net worth seems to be against the Equal Protection Clause established by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.

Leveraged ETFs are a valuable tool investors utilize to deploy certain strategies. While the risk is amplified, the return can be as well. Further, while some argue the risk is too great, investors have the right to take risks within their individual risk appetite
