I have been investing and managing my own funds in the stock market for over 20 years. I want to maintain the ability to freely invest my portfolio in any US or foreign security, included leverage funds, without arbitrary restrictions. I, like most investors, understand the elevated risk with leverage funds. However, leverage funds serve their purpose when used sporadically and carefully. I, like most investors, dont want to lose that flexibility.

I oppose having restrictions placed on my right to invest in whatever public investments that I may choose.

I do not want to have any special process, like passing an exam/test, before I can invest in any funds. I believe it is my right to choose without these processes. I have been investing in leveraged and inverse funds for many years now and have been throught the good and bad that these funds generate. I do not want regulators imposing restrictions on me now.

Inverse ETF's are the only way I can manage stock risks. Don't take this option away

Leveraged funds are crucial to one of my investment strategies which I pair with options. Limiting their use will devastate my strategy while adding testing, high net worth and/or special brokerage approval requirements will adversely hurt the options market in these products.

Please retain ability to invest in these Inverse and Leveraged funds. Per earlier notes, there is enough knowledge and background to invest in these responsibly. And I will be happy to undertake any evaluation, screening to demonstrate knwoeldge and understanding around these instruments

Investors should be able to utilize leveraged and inverse ETFs as they see fit. It should not fall on regulators to limit what I can invest in as long as the risks/merits of the investments are easily visible which they are on the Prospectus.

I strongly believe that I, and not any regulator, have the right to choose what investments are suitable for me and my family. Publicly available investments need to be accesible to all and not to only a few.
I do not believe that special vetting or testing is in order. Leveraged funds and their risks are clearly explained in all materials.
I use these funds in my portfolio to fulfill specific investment goals. I am not rich or privileged and I do not think that these great tools should in any way be limited to the few.

I do not need you to protect me from myself. Leave leveraged investments available to everyone. Its not up to you to decide how much risk I can take.

These restrictions on my right to invest should not be put in place

Investing in Leveraged funds boosted the returns and at the same time helped me invest only portion of the Retirement corpus (thus limiting my risk) and still was able to beat S&P500 and Nasdaq returns.

Please do not restrict Leveraged investments.
