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.

Clearly nothing more than an attempt to further widen the wealth gap by preventing mortals from being on the same playing field as those with already too much power.

Please allow us to be able to invest in funds as we see fit. Ability and freedom to invest in leveraged funds is critical to build a nest egg especially in early years. Thank you
