The government does not have a role to play in setting barriers for entry for market participants, especially those based upon socioeconomic status.

I am surprised, based upon the current political environment where wealthy individuals reap the majority of the centralized benefits, that regulators would elect to further punish citizens not born into wealthy families.

I believe that retail leveraged funds, accessible to the public, are important to keep alive and available without additional regulation. If we take these away, normal citizens will be at a disadvantage compared with institutional investors (who will still have access to these, even if in different ways).

This ruling would limit the ability for
retail investors to fully participate in the market.

I do not agree with these proposed regulations.

I do not want my ability to invest restricted in any way in the TQQQ ETF. I have thoroughly reviewed the past performance of TQQQ and it's ability to track 3x to the NASDAQ 100. I researched and considered this over many months before investing. TQQQ is a key component of my equity mix to track the NASDAQ 100.

no more regulations!

I want to continue to invest in proshares leveraged funds

Dear Sirs,
In regards to the proposed ban on trading the ProShares funds, which include "inverse" tracking indices, I would like to express my discontent with any regulation that limits my freedom in trading financial instruments. Public investments, including "invers funds", need to be available for the general public to trade, not just privileged people of institutions.

Please do not restrict access the ability to invest in inverse ETFs. Its a critical part of my trading strategy

I already need special approval from the brokerage to trade these products. Leveraged and inverse funds are primarily used to hedge risk and lower volatility. These new regulations will disadvantage smaller investors. Do you want us to return to "selling short" to achieve our goals? If so, that would entail a great deal more risk.

This is a prime example of regulatory overreach.
