Please allow me to continue trading leveraged investment products. They are integral to my investment strategy and allow me to safeguard my portfolio more than unleveraged products.

investors should have their freedom to buy/sell leveraged etf. Why limiting the ability of individual investors to access the leveraged etf? it doesn't make sense to me.

All people should have the right to invest as they see fit. If they can afford a share and want to buy it, they should be able. This promotes elitism and is an attempt to form a privileged class contrary to the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. It is a bad proposal and should be defeated.

Please don't add further restrictions on purchasing these securities. I should be allowed to read the risk and then make my own decision.
Investors like me 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.

The regulatory action being considered to limit investment in leveraged and inverse funds is an overreach of regulator responsibility. Investing in any publicly traded security carries inherent risk. Every brokerage account already warns of the risk of loss. Additional measures are not required to convey those risks to the investor.

I've been trading with leveraged funds for years now and find it a great way to invest in my future.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me hedge my investments and enhance my returns, and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I have been investing for more than 10 years. With the experience plus my education - a PhD from a university in the U.S., I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.

Please dont restrict my investment choices wrt levered or reverse etfs. Simply not your duty.

you've already locked us out of start ups with your "accredited investor" [REDACTED] - why can stupid people who are born rich get the best opportunities? now youre taking away BDCs, inverse/leverage etfs? stop SCREWING THE LITTLE GUYS

To whom it may concern. As a private investor, I should have the ability to choose investments that are right for me, and my family.... not the regulator!

Going through special processes such as a test BEFORE I can invest in public security such as leveraged and inverse funds, is limiting my freedom as an American citizen.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important investment strategies for me and have enabled us to complement out portfolio during both bear and bull markets.
