Although I understand the intent to help prevent some investors from losing everything, but it is imperative that investors have options and choices. Levered funds enable an investor with high conviction about a direction and a sector to make outsized gains. If you take it away they will be forced to consider other alternatives. The last thing you want is a seriously uninformed investor blindly investing in options or worse, single stock futures. You must not cause this action. This is America, the land of choices... Don't limit our choices.

Hello, Regulators,

Nobody likes you. Many (fully) understand what you failingly attempt to do. Billionaires get full access to an American Dream, freedom to make money and upward mobility (they already have it.), while you (failingly) try to disenfranchise regular people those who can use it most. Free, and open markets mean free for all: Try focusing on frauds as stocks, frauds, Chinese A.D.R. frauds. Yet we realize you did not get instantiated for these (real) purposes. Lovingly, kick rocks.

Sincerely not yours,
Mikes Jones

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

I am opposed to the proposed changes in investment regulations which would prevent or restrict investors from buying "complex products" such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am a 65 year old retiree and this would have a profoundly negative impact on my retirement savings. If you want to impose limits on investors prohibit Senators and Representatives from investing in stocks.

I want to determine the amount of risk I can endure. Do not limit my investing choices.

Individuals, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. And investors should take responsibility; if you do not fully understand an investment, do not make the investment, or be prepared, and take responsibility, for any potential losses.

Good afternoon,

I completely oppose this proposed regulation that will limit my investments.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST My education - a Ph.D. from a university in the U.S. and mathematics as my Bachelor Degree's minor subject, I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I - not regulators - should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like taking a test before I can invest in public securities. There is no need for any measure imposed on me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged, not just the selected ones.

leveraged funds are a important hedge strategy in our investment planning with market volatility. Why regulators would want to restrict investment in these instruments makes no sense. This is just more restriction on our rights and is most likely unconstitutional, under the guise of government protection. Current warnings about investing are totally sufficient. Advice about investing using a fiduciary is the best way to prevent uninformed investors from making uniformed investments.

I should be able to choose the public investment that right for me .
