Investing strategy and instruments should be left up to the investor as long as they are legal and perform as subscribed.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Explain that you are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. Tell regulators you do not
need these measures imposed on you.
Other reasons you think these restrictions on your

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me manage risk and profit during periods of volatility such as we have experienced in the past few years. I see no valid reason to restrict the use of such instruments in any manner.

I understand the risks involved with these types of investments.
With the ones I hold, I am hoping for interest rates to go up. No matter what type of security I purchase I can loose money. Stocks are shorted Bonds are shorted so what's the difference.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. Please think outside the box !

completely unnecessary to add these restrictions on public investments.

The right of investors to elect to put their hard earned money into inverse or leveraged ETFs should not be impeded through regulation. The issuers of the ETFs should be required to provide sufficient information to the investor regarding the potential risks of an investment in their ETF; however, the final decision should be up to the individual investor. Cryptocurrencies, lotteries and casino gaming pose a much greater risk to the loss of the initial "investment"; however, those are not regulated, except for by age.

Please do not regulate levered ETFs more than already existing regulations. These would just cause higher expenses to existing brokers to ensure that the paperwork is accurate. I think the increase of options trading has added to market volatility not the levered ETFs. These provide a great way for active traders to express their investment views day to day. I believe current regulations are enough.

Please do not take away my freedom to invest in the stock market using Proshares leverage and inverse funds.

You not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I protest any restriction to my free choice as a free citizen of a democracy to invest in whatever I want.
