I, like many others, am fully capable of understanding market risks and specific investment risks of leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of doing research, understanding risks, and making a decision on whether to invest. The decision should not be taken away from me or anyone else. If people are allowed to freely buy lottery tickets then so should anyone be allowed to invest in any product in the stock market. Anyone who doesn't understand the risks can make their own decision not to invest.

This is trash. If passed you're deleting the middle class entirely. You [REDACTED]

Everything good

This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment? What about TSLA? How about FTGC- The Commodities ETF? All investment/speculation assumes risk and decision to allocate any financial resources should lie with the investor and their advisor.

Leveraged and Inverse funds help protect and hedge my investments or seek enhanced returns,and use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.

Not sure why you trying to control or limit my ability to my money into levered or inverse funds. I am a novice investor and try to read about various products and decide where i want to put my money. Please don't control where I put my money, no matter what the risk. It is fair for you to ask the investment products to fully disclose the risk, but that risk is mine to take. Thank you

I am not understanding why you should restrict these funds from the public. We should have the same freedom to invest in any Funds that are available to big banks and Wall Street.
It seems things change when the market is going down. But not when its going up.
A lot of 3 x leveraged and inverse stocks have been dropped down to 1.5 and 2 X
Worse is the big drops down for no reason and the reverse splits for down leverage stocks like 1:20 but the up ones are 2:1
This is controlling the stock market and its not right our fare.

Adding additional regulation in advisors and ETFs seems misguided and misplaced. Regulators should be focused on what is creating the real wealth destruction for individual investors which is options trading done by novice investors. By regulating ETFs in this manner it is placing a barrier to using an effective hedging tool that has been in existence long enough for advisors and BDs to know how to manage the risks associated.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

I am an informed investor. I have a plan in place to be able to maximize retirement moneys. I have used a leveraged fund for several years (TQQQ).

The nature of TQQQ is volatile. I clearly understand the volatile nature. I depend on the volatile nature of this fund as if gives best opportunity for growth.

Its fun to see how scared the other side seems when the tables are turned and they can no longer use fiat currencies as a weapon, but see how it could be turned against them. As with all things , it only takes time and pressure for things to break.
