I am opposed to the proposed rules adding restrictions on purchases of leveraged investment products for individual investors. Individual investors should have the ability to choose what strategies to utilize and the equities they purchase. Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into individual stocks. Investment products in the open market should be available to all individuals and not limited.

Do not we live in America? Any attempt by government and /or regulators to limit the freedoms of everyday citizens (ie. contending that every day citizens are not capable of managing their own affairs and investment decisions) is an insult and frankly unconstitutional. Perhaps we need government officials at every roulette table in America to save Americans from themselves. Stay in your lane bro!

Do not restrict the peoples right to invest. Why did you wait for a declining market to consider this? Highly suspicious. Small investors are always subject to a rigged system against them. Why is that?

Its so important to allow investors, not regulators, to determine the right investments for their families. Limiting investors is unfair, and will ultimately weaken those markets.

I oppose this regulation. You should be subject to something akin to the hippocratic oath. You often skip right past the "first, do no harm" stage and go straight into surgery, assuming that you can make things better through burdonsome regulation. I continue to be surprised that your constituent members have not recognized the many ways that you have outgrown your charter and outlived your usefulness.

It is ridiculous and a crime to take away a citizens right to invest how and when and how much they personally want to. This government is not my parent or my god.

Leave my decisions on investing to me. No Big Brother [REDACTED]

It is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions,

I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) holder with more than ten years of investment experience. I'm capable to manage the investment risk in my own portfolio. I do not need the regulators to choose the investments that is right for me. I have my own investment strategies that matches my risk tolerance. Leveraged funds are important to my strategies. They help me hedge my investment risks and obtain enhanced returns. I am capable of understanding these leveraged funds and their risks.
