Inverted ETFs are the #1 way that allows retail investors the ability to protect their portfolio against the declines in the general stock market or within industries. Once again, taking a tool away that actually gives the little guy an even stage with the big players. Then you wonder why you have situations like meme investing... Leveraged ETFs allow me to take protective positions without as much capital. This just seems like yet another example of laziness in addressing an issue.

Individual investors should have the right to invest their money in any way they see fit. Its the same as telling someone they are no longer allowed to buy soda because its bad for you and they may misuse it. People can make their own choices. We all make risk reward choices every day. If an individual wants to invest in a leveraged ETF and is okay with the higher risk/higher reward, then they should have every right to.

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

These investments helped me pay my bills when business was down and during health issues.

I have been investing using leveraged funds, inverse funds, options contracts and futures for 30 years.

The only time I lost money was when regulators changed rules on my trades.

STAY OUT OF MY MONEY AND LET ME MANAGE IT WITHOUT CONSTANTLY CHANGING RULES!!!

Please do not restrict or remove weighted ETF's. I use this weighted ETF (LABU) when market sentiment has become extremely negative. It is a good hedge to recover losses in my core holdings. I feel it is better than a stock option because there is no time limit and there is diversification in the ETF. All I need is patience with the weighted etf. Please do not take this tool away from me in managing my portfolio.

The regulators should enable common investors to make better choices, not limiting them from trading.

I have owned ProShares for many years. I added it to my retirement fund after it had been doing well in my mothers retirement fund where that holding was helpful for my mom's needs.
I find a ProShares holding (SSO) to still be good in my asset allocation.

There is no way that I have even considered any allocation in crypto funds, an area that does need research, appropriate oversight.

The people have these securities for long time and now that market is in correction, we can not liquidate it. In the other words, it is my own risk to take, not yours.
