Im a doctor that is also an accountant. I dont need the SEC or FINRA looking out for me. I invest small amounts on a short term basis in leveraged funds. I understand that all the money I invest can be lost. If people dont understand this then that is on them. Thats why they have a 401k and not their own self directed IRA or brokerage account. Im not against having to pass a small test or questionnaire, but having to prove net worth or high income is not fair.

I oppose restrictions to invest.

I have been investing for myself for many years now, and I believe it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to understand the risks of investing. Let's be honest here - anyone who invests or even paper trades knows they can lose money, it's the first rule learned. Please stop trying to pretend you are acting on our best interests by restricting our access to important tools needed to manage risk, including leveraged and/or inverse funds. Investors do not need, nor want, your interference in the management of our investments.

All Investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy.

I strongly reject this regulation, it takes away investor's freedom and post extra burden/restrictions on individual investors.

Please leave leverage ETF do not ban them Please just been using margin options and short selling and make broker dealers have their clients do a course on it to see if theyre competent enough investing in them

It would be absurd to disallow this when others would be allowed to do the same via alternate means I.e. other derivatives.

Public investments should be exactly that- public. As a non-professional investor should not have to go through special processes to invest in public securities such as leveraged or inverse funds. The market is already stacked against the small investor since we cannot access the 'instant' trades where the professionals make so much of their profits. The proposed regulation would be incredibly unfair, making the market even more unfriendly to the small investor. They would impose undue burdens on small investors like me.

I believe I should have the right to trade equities as I see fit. If I lose money so be it that was my choice and I am responsible for my choices and their outcomes. However, I do not believe that someone has the right to determine what is in my best interest and restrict said trading on my behalf. I have a degree in economics and have the skills required to make those choices myself. If I were you I would stop this nonsense and take a closer look at what is. happening at the f federal level.

Restricting trading strategies is fundamentally unfair. There is no legitimate reason to restrict leveraged or inverse funds. Investors always must assume the risks of their investment choices. Unsophisticated investors may not understand systemic risks, but it does not mean investors should be entirely prohibited from investing altogether.
