proposals are punitive to the investor .If there is no fraud what is the use of the restrictions .Information about the risk is all what is needed .

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to our investment strategies with the rate of inflation today. We need every option we can get to keep up.

I believe the use of complex products including leveraged and inverse funds should continue to be allowed for use with retail investors for short-term purposes. Often these products can be used when volatility spikes within the markets in an effort to protect an investors portfolio. Through the use of these type of products, the investor is not required to sell specific holdings (incurring unnecessary capital gains) but can hedge their portfolio. Certainly, the use of these type of investments should be monitored to confirm prudent usage but should continue to be allowed.

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.

Leveraged & Inversed ETF's are important to the way I invest. PLEASE. Don't make any changes to the way these are made available to myself and other investors. I have been trading triple leveraged TQQQ, SQQQ, TECL, TECS, TNA, TZA, UPRO, SPXU and many others since June 2006 and have never had a problem and can't understand why anyone thinks there is a problem. Please, I beg of you don't make any changes. Sincerely. Peter Lenz

I, as an individual investor, OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST in leveraged investment products.

I should be able to choose the public investment products that are right for me and my family. All investment conmmunity should have equal right to access to public investment products, not just the privileged.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding the risks and rewards associated with leveraged investment products.

I am qualified, knowledgeable and educated in leveraged ETFs and do NOT believe in our free market that any regulations for leveraged ETFs are appropriate.

Ah yes, quite a brilliant regulatory notice. Only us ~~~~sophisticated~~~~~~~~ investors are worthy enough to trade such complex financial instruments. The peasantry are wholly incapable of understanding the Bitz-Coins on our academic level. The only issue with this proposal is that it does not go far enough to """""protect"""" retail investors from their own stupidity. Many individual stocks are delisted from exchanges every year.

I have a BS degree in Business Administration and I am perfectly capable of making my own investment decisions. I do not need regulators and regulations making choices for me.

Leveraged and inverse funds are vital to my investments. I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest!

Taking away this right does not all a true free market. There are numerous ways to trade that are higher risk such as weekly options and micro stocks, what is the difference? This limits what should be a true and free market.
