I strongly object to proposed restrictions on my personal investment options for our family's retirement income strategy, including buying leveraged and inverse funds. I'm quite pleased with and confident in my relationship with my financial advisor in this regard, and am very much opposed to the addition of new gates and hurdles in the process, no matter how well intended.

Don't do it.

I invest in Leveraged ETF Options as a strategy and occasionally in the Leveraged ETF's themselves. I have been doing this for over 15 years. I have achieved a net profit every single year since I’ve started using them regardless of whether the market is up or down. I strongly believe that I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and that all public investments should be available for me to choose from. I should not have to go through any special process or pass any tests to invest in leveraged or inverse funds.

So basically [REDACTED] the little guy and only give advantages to the wealthy! I smell lawsuits.

We are adults and capable of deciding what is a safe investment and what is not. I've traded leveraged products for a specialized type of trading since 2010. I have 51 years experience and resent government supervision.

Please don't put any more regulations/restrictions on my public trading rights. It just makes the whole process more complex than it has to be. Remember the old saying KISS ! Thanks, Joe

I do not want to lose my right to invest my money where I want! Too much government oversight!

Doint tread on me

I've already had Vanguard restrict my options on inverse funds and I don't need you to pile on. I would prefer more personal freedom to make investment decisions. I don't need or desire your "help".

Comments: I've been using leveraged ETFs for many years and am well aware of the added risk. My experience is that the risk of the leveraged vehicle is not much different than investing in individual stocks. It is easy find examples of stocks that are far more volatile than the leveraged product. For example, a two year chart of ROKU with TECL would show that the leveraged ETF was a much better choice. A two year chart with NVDA shows a similar return with the the leveraged product (150%). The advantage of the ETF of course is that there is greater diversification.
