All I hear is consistent preaching and claims from Gary Gensler and the SEC That their primary objective is to protect me as a retail investor. Well let me say, since cryptocurrency has been in the crosshairs of Gary Gensler and the SEC, I do not feel protected as a retail investor! I feel attacked because of my choice of investment! All these moves and policies that the SEC aims to enforce threatens the growth of my investments, it most certainly does not protect them! I do understand and realize that as with any investment, there is risk.

Hello, please do not limit the ability to use these funds to only rich. It is already unfair that they have so many advantages in the market place. I have been using leveraged ETFs for over 10 years and I do not see how you can disallow them but allow rich to invest in futures, swaps and other much more risky products. Thank you for your consideration.

I and not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I think the leveraged and inverse funds are just like many other securities or any investment that you can lose most or all your money, not to mention the above funds are not a single stock investment so they are intrinsically diversified. Individual investors like us use the leveraged and inverse funds as important tools to hedge our main investment elsewhere. The public tools should be freely used by us fairly, not designed as for priviledged only.

We need all are freedoms back let's stop these regulations

It is very important for an informed and risk aware investor to take calculated risk. While leveraged funds are riskier than traditional stocks, funds, etc, none-the-less, they provide a very crucial diversification alpha to smart investors.

I strongly urge SEC, regulators, Congress, and everyone else involved in restricting the access to leveraged ETFs in retirement accounts.

My husband and I are long time investors. And we both feel, very strongly, that MORE REGULATION OF THE MARKET IS NEEDED. In an age when the wealth gap grows starker and uglier, Wall Street needs to be severely reined in and regulated. We need Glass-Stegall reinstated.

It's just simple free country and we have the right to invest how ever we choose

Please allow leveraged funds to remain open for investments. They are a balancing force in equity markets.

I have been investing since 1982. I understand the risks [and benefits] in using leveraged and inverse funds [and puts and calls]. These risks are listed in the prospectus of each such mutual fund or ETF, which each investor receives. I use leveraged and inverse funds frequently. When the Fed raises rates, TBT is a great fund to use. I am up $7,800 with that since last December, and just doubled my investment amount there before the Fed meeting Wednesday.
