Hello,
Regarding adding restrictions on investing, people who dont know how or dont want to invest should not invest. Americas freedoms are slowly being eroded away by more restrictions by regulators that think they know best.
Thank you

Anyone, not just the wealthy, should be able to invest in "inverse" funds.

As to leveraged funds, they should probably limited to 2X. Also, there should probably be a holding period limit to leveraged investments, say 30 or 60 days. I do not think "margin" requirements should be too liberal either.

As an investor we understand risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not restrict investors(esp retail) and make investing in stock market tougher. This regulations if brought in will impact investors/traders who are already in trading and they might incur huge loss in terms of capital depreciation by scaring away exiting and new investments.

I oppose the proposed rule. The leveraged and inverse funds are a very important part of my personal portfolio, which provide a means for me to hedge against other long term holdings and control overall portfolio risks. My personal investments will be negatively affected if restrictions are imposed on those instruments.

I vehemently oppose ANY restrictions to my right to invest in anything I deem worth the risk. YOU have no right to telll me what I can and cannot invest in,

I can't believe this is seriously being considered. Let people decide to do with their own money.

People know the risks or should know the risk

Stay out of our way and let us make money or lose it. Don't save people from themselves, let them make mistakes if that is what happens

I have used ProShares ETF's for years. My best investment with them is SSO. I have a large gain in that. I am very familiar with the risks of their products. I do know from experience how to use them after years of using their product. I would NOT like to see their products be put into a category of "complex products" and not be able to invest in them. Please do not do that. Joe

It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except rich people. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed.

I as an investor should be able to choose whatever public investments as I see fit...not regulators. Thank you,

We should not be restricting individuals whatsoever, everyone should have a choice and have the opportunity to make their own decision and take responsibility in what they want to pursue and invest in. Investing is not just for the wealthy, besides, most of the wealthy started small. In this case you'd be restricting others from benefiting themselves and removing potential large higher end clients. This would be a rule that restricts and lowers the value of the industry, it would be self destructing. Please think before going through with this rule.
