Investors should be free to select which investments they feel are reflective of their risk level. It is asinine that the talk of banning leveraged ETFs is circulating when 18 year olds can place 100% of their money into a meme stock and then still access margin to double down on their stupidity, which is objectively more risky than a properly balanced, risk adjusted, leveled ETF portfolio. We need less regulation in this space. Should information be avaliable? Yes! It already is via fund documents. Should levered ETFs be banned? Absolutely not.

I'm opposed to the Nanny State and attempts to stop me from investing how I like. Leveraged and inverse funds are an interesting component to a diverse portfolio. Removing these would only handicap individual investors, which is not fair. They can be used along side unleveraged standard ETF's to enhance performance or hedge during time of high volatility. They are excellent products.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest and be able to choose the public investments that are right to me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds are important tools in my investment strategies that help protect my investments when used as a limited part of my overall portfolio, and equitable and non-discriminatory access to them is imperative to public in free market economy and democracy. With my level of education and the abundance of educational materials available in print and online, I am capable of understanding the economics behind leveraged and inverse funds.

Hi - leveraged index investing is a key component of my retirement strategy in both taxable and tax sheltered accounts. The risks are clearly defined and putting heavy restrictions on these funds is a disservice to investors.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are beneficial for me and my family. Privileged individuals should not influence, negate or stymie my ability to participate in public investments.

[REDACTED] socialist elites want to strip Main Street investors from opportunities they will reserve for themselves like insider trading. Who could be more of an insider trader than Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Congress they only want two classes in America the ruling elite and the rest of us

Government should stay out of such regulations on how investors can or cannot do. Let investors assess and take their own risk. Thank you! Robert Yuan

I have been a sophisticated holder of SSO for many years and understand the leverage concept.I am hopeful that FINRA will allow me to continue to hold this security and that no measures will be imposed on me. Thank you. Alfred Rauch

Providing ONLY avenues of strict compliance affordable to only the higher income individuals and/or corporations is dispikable(sp) and an attempt to enslave the populace of the world. Even the attempt at enacting this kind of legislation from our legislature is shameful.

I occasionally use leveraged funds when the trend line is in my favor. As a retired accountant, I have always been not quite an accredited investor, not enough income, not wealthy enough, not a professional financial manager. However I know business and have decades of experience, making my invest decisions generally superior to that if inherited wealth or high income in an unrelated fields. My options are limited; dont take a couple of them away.
