I strongly believe people are more at risk with SPACs and other loss making companies trading at astronomical prices.

Investing in leveraged index ETFs is an investment strategy that should be available to retail investors.

If you are banning these you need to also bann people from gambling at casinos, lottery tickets and other forms of gambling. It seems like you wanting to restrict leveraged funds unless you jump through hoops is only going to help out the rich.

Why limit people from getting ahead, yes they are risky but for veteran investors they know of them already.

This totally unacceptable. Do we really need big brother to watch over us. It is my money and I demand the right to invest it as I please. It appears that our government wants to control all aspects of our lives.
If I want to purchase a car will I be told if it's to expensive or drives to fast also.
Soon we will be told what charities we are allowed to give to.

Dear SEC Officer:
Leveraged funds are important to me, and they allow me to seek enhanced returns and help protect my investment portfolio. I am capable of understanding the leveraged funds and their performance, and do not want a third-party evaluating my capability to do so and potentially preventing me from buying them. I want to preserve the long-standing free public markets where investors and their advisors have the freedom to buy public securities without additional government-imposed limitations on investor choice.

Best Regards,
H Zhu

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 shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds.

I am 100% against this proposed measure

Small investors don't have the knowledge or ability to short stocks or invest in complex option strategies. Inverse funds are an important and simple way for small investors to hedge against loss.

We are well aware of the risks.We don't need regulators making decisions for us.

L&I funds are used by small investors to level the playing field against large investment firms who use similar instruments to move the market in directions that are counter to publicly traded firms actual performance The idea that small investors should be prevented from using these tools while big money uses them daily to sap the market of legitimate gains is another example wrong thinking. An onerous process to qualify for their use in retail trading firms and their investors is simply not warranted.
