Regardless of what (if any) action is taken on this notice, the decision to invest must be with the investor. Limiting retail traders' use of complex instruments represents a dangerous slippery slope. I'm all in favor of curbing advertisements for these products. Likewise, leveraged products should provide clear disclosures detailing their risk profiles and internal workings. However, denying investors the ability to hedge (with option sales or inverse ETFs for instance) makes them easy prey to those that can.

This is unacceptable regulatory overreach. We understand and invest in these types of funds and should not be prohibited from doing so!

I am an individual investor, 68 years old. Over the past 10 years I taught myself about leveraged and inverse funds, using literature readily available in our city library and sponsors' websites. The operation of funds such as UVXY and SVXY is understandable to people like me without specialized financial training. I use these successfully for diversifying the return-versus-risk profile of my portfolio.

I am still heavily invested in leveraged ETFs.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. It's a convenient way to short a group of stocks or bonds. It's much more difficult and risky to short individual stocks as a retail investor. Please don't take away my rights as a small investor.

Stop making rules that Hurtado cripple small investors. Keep the field level. Stop the [REDACTED]. Everyone should have the right to invest without these restrictions.

To whom this may concern:

I should be able to choose the public I investments that are right for you and your family.

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Pure marxism, needs to stop!

I have right to invest in any company.

I use Leveraged and inverse etf's as an investment tool for my retirement and would like to keep doing so.
