Please, let the average Person have the chance to make some real money. The accredited investors already have their hedge funds, dont discriminate against us little guys. Let us have our chance to make money, too.

This is unnecessary change that affect and reduces access to investors from products.

I do not understand why a regulator should be telling me as an individual and raising the bar to what kind of ETFs I can invest in.

Requiring a test is the opposite of an equalizer and prevents marginalize groups access to this type of investment.

Please dont think that buy limiting the trading of leveraged ETFs , the public will be safe.
Driving cars kills thousands, but we dont outlaw cars, we make them saw safe as possible. Please do the same with these. Thank you.

The ability to freely access leveraged and inverse investment products allows even the small investor both opportunity and protection from market volatility. True, there are some who use these freedoms unwisely, but that is true of anything. Existing safeguards and regulations, in my opinion, are sufficient for the majority of investors, and risk and foolish choices will never be squeezed from investing. Risk assets are just that. Inverse products in particular serve as insurance for market gains during periods of increased volatility.

When you start regulating who can go into Casinos and Gamble then you can come after the stock market. Not Before!

I want to let you know it's very important to have reverse funds in my retirement account as the hedges of my other investment. Thanks.

To who it may concern,

I oppose restrictions on investing in these investment vehicles as they are far less risky then investing in individual stocks, options, futures, and cryptocurrencies. I invest in many of these regularly and have reduced my risk considerably. If you restrict these in a way that I could not use them then you are accomplishing the opposite of your goal.

Please let us invest in the leveraged investment products. This is only tool we have for small investors to hedge our investments with very small risk. Without this option, we would not be able to invest long term without safely hedging our long-term investments. These products are very handy when the risk is high like current period. Without these products, we may have to sell everything now to reduce losses if this risky period continues. With these products, we can hedge and ride out the storm.

I vehemently oppose your attempts to restrict my right to invest my money as I see fit including the use of leveraged funds.

I have a masters degree and use leveraged funds as a small portion of my overall investing strategy.

The last thing I need is additional regulatory hoops to be able to invest in ways that will best serve me and my family.

For me, leveraged funds are an indispensable way of dealing with market volatility. Being invested in a twice leveraged diversified equity fund, such as a leveraged SP500 fund' and holding 50% in cash, allows me not to panic in a sharp market downturn. Knowing I will not lose more than one half of my equity, allows me to make unemotional decisions when they are most needed. I request that you do not remove this important portfolio management tool from the individual investor.
