I am a free American and I will do with my money as I please. Don't like freedom go to a country that will let you be as slave for the government.

I oppose when govt. tells us where to invest and where not to invest.please leave leveraged and inverse funds alone.
I should not have to go to any special process.
I call that overreach by govt.

For investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio, the ability to take advantage of changing market conditions and to hedge existing positions is without restructuring allocations or employing short sales, option, or commodity trades is essential to proper investment management. Inverse, and leveraged ETF's and Mutual Funds are the easiest and least expensive product for this purpose. Individual investors, especially those who trade their own account should continue to have this resource available. T

Just wrong

Hello,
I bought leveraged funds over twenty years ago and held them. They have beared themselves out to have been of tremendous benefit to my portfolio.
Where index investing has proven to be a sound wealth building strategy, leveraged index investing has proven to be an even greater longterm wealth building technique.
Please do not prohibit the continuation of this sound discipline.

I believe that these new regulations will help people. Many people don't understand anything about investing, and might put all of their money in one single stock, and lose it all.

Many people are not capable of understanding investment risks. I do not believe that "my rights will be taken away" if these regulations are made law. That is silly.

This would be a travesty to the integrity and impartiality of all markets.

This is anti-consumer and not ethical.

MAKE IT EASIER TO TRADE PRODUCTS NOT HARDER.

There should not be restrictions on what an individual should be permitted to invest in. There should be consumer protections of course but there should be no complex barriers to investing.

To Whom It May Concern:

I manage a number of family investment portfolios. I am a CPA, Attorney and Computer Scientist. I have been investing in stocks and bonds for approximately 56 years.

I prefer leveraged inverse funds (LIFs) to Stock Options to hedge short-term market volatility.

Please restrain from restricting the ability of average retail investors access a variety of funds. Let the investors make their own decisions at their own discretion!!!
