There's no reasonable excuse to prevent anyone from investing into any public investments. There are plenty of legal investment brokers for sound financial advice. It appears that once again the money is trying to keep those of us trying to build up a stable financial security for ourselves.

I have spent 50 years perfecting my investment process both personally and for clients. I managed to survive and flourish through 8-9 bear markets. I accomplish this by using the most broadest of diversifications including being able to sell short markets. Inverse etfs including leveraged ones are important tools to have in the tool box to accomplish this. they are convenient and in many ways reduce the risk that one would have to undertake using options or individual stocks, if one wanted to hedge.

I opposed regulation's on my investment. We want to be lifted alone

I dont want to be told how to invest my money and which investments I am allowed to make.

You should be able to invest or spend your money any way you wish freedom of personal property!!! Any trying to remove that right needs to be in prison for life!!

To Whom It May Concern, I am greatly concerned about any additional cost further regulation and compliance will have on complex trading products, particularly leveraged ETFs. I am concerned about additional regulations which may increase the time it takes to get approval for trading complex products. I purchased leveraged ETFs on market indices, however there was five years of research in search of the products which would allow me to do so with minimal cost and max gain. I am concerned regulation and compliance will hamper my ability to invest and divest my positions.

please don't proceed with this proposed regulation. the sorts of investment vehicles targeted have proven extremely useful for me. when properly used they allow more finely focused, targeted investments, as well as a way to hedge investments. there's plenty of info currently out there about them already for anyone considering using them, so no need to add more requirements. thank you. -james bell, small investor

I find that leveraged funds like the ones from ProShares, are safe and well-managed. Investing in the long-term success of the US market is an integral part of the stock market

Comments: Please do not limit or effectively make it impossible for small investors like myself from using leveraged ETFs. Im knowledgeable and your materials on the subject are enough for informed decisions. I vote, I pay taxes, I live a modest life, I deserve the right to invest in all available legal investment products.

I do not want the government intruding in my right to invest my money as I see fit. This includes, as part of a very balanced portfolio, minimal exposure to one leveraged index fund. Any politician who tries to take that away, come next election I will work to unseat you.
