Please do now impose on our/my ability to use leverged and/or inverse funds. These play important role in my investment strategies and some of us are unable to trade futures, so they are the only entity we have to trade in a leveraged fashion. I understand the risk involved and a believe that most that do trade inverse and leveraged funds also have that understanding. I'm sure some don't, but that is just foolish and we shouldn't limit the many that do because of a few that don't.

Please do not pass this as it can help not only me but my friends that are in a lower case to build wealth for themselves!!

I use leveraged funds to give a little spark to my otherwise strictly dividend portfolio. Always less than 5% of portfolio value. I also use them for short periods to enhance returns on a sector that is in current demand. They are always used in small proportion and for short periods of time.
Been using them for years. I like them and believe I should have the choice to use them. Let the buyer beware!

I 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.

This is a joke, stop trying to control what people do.

The investments on 2x or 3x leveraged funds is individual responsibility to decide. It is not risked environment

Its my money and I should be able to decide what to do with it

I use leveraged funds in a an investing plan in which I am fully aware of risks. The government should NOT place any restrictions on the choices of individual investors as incorporating leveraged investments into my plan is my choice and I am under no obligation to do so. If the government desires to meddle in personal affairs, how about educating people about financial programs, investing and responsible spending instead of restricting my ability to make my own choices.

I appose any restrictions on my ability to choose an investment. As an investor it should be my choice to take the level of risk that I am comfortable with and my responsibility to educate myself about those risks. Limiting my choices as an investor limits my potential gains.

The rule makes no sense. You dont need to be a market professional to understand risk that goes with these products.
