Gentlemen - Your proposed limitations on investments such as "leveraged" and "inverse" funds are antithetical to free capital markets and an insult to the intelligence of American investors. We don't need your"help" or "guidance", or any other "assistance" from government bureaucrats who have never had to meet a payroll or fund a business. Leave free investment markets alone and they will function rationally and efficiently to allocate funds to the highest and best social use consistent with individual freedom.

As a citizen of the USA I should retain the right to invest my money as I please. I do not need to pass a test or go through any special process approved by a government agency to do so.

I can an do understand the risks with these products. I dont need the government holding my hand. Im a big boy

Each person is accountable to themselves. Investment choices shouldn't be limited. If I fail to do my due diligence on ANY investment I choose to fund and that investment goes against me, then shame on me. Don't handcuff us and don't treat us like children! You can't make up new rules and regs to help prevent against every flavor of stupid that exists in the world. You'll handicap those that need to learn personal accountability - sometimes, the hard way.

It is my responsibility as an investor to understand the dangers of any investment I make, not limited to leveraged funds. In fact, Leveraged ETFs are much safer than certain other instruments such as options.

Leveraged ETFs provide a valuable addition to various portfolios for hedging and certain long term risk parity portfolios.

Do not restrict these to individuals with high networth individuals. Investors should be able to make their own decisions, with an understanding of the risks.

PLS LEAVE INVERSE FUNDS ALONE SO THE HIGH NETWORTH INVERSTOR CAN USE THEM IN THERE PORTFOLIO

I use leveraged funds in a methodical manner as part of my investing strategy. I fully understand the risks associated with leveraged investments and DO NOT believe the government has any right to regulate investment products. It is my personal choice to incorporate leveraged funds as part of my wealth building strategy and I desire to continue to use them. If you must regulate investments, regulate the inside information and trading the government officials use to obtain significant wealth- Don't regulate my leveraged fund option.

Thank you for finally passing such sensible legislation. Nobody needs to invest in these high-risk financial concoctions that don't represent anything of real value. The sooner that we close these loopholes, the better.
America's wealthiest can get wealthier by investing in people and companies, not 'financial instruments'.

Investing should not be a privilege, nor should the government serve as gatekeepers to the investing world. Investing is the only way to secure future wealth and financial security. Anyone should be able to invest, regardless of education, net worth, etc.

Hi, I was really disturbed to hear that unreasonable regulations may be imposed on certain types of leveraged investments. This is a massive overreach that prevents people from taking control of their own portfolios and making personal decisions that can significantly boost retirement funds and savings. We are not children - we understand all investments involve risks, and it is up to each and every investor to do the appropriate research and decide what to do with their money. That is a freedom anyone should have.
