Please do not enforce these regulatory rules for investing. I myself am in a situation where investments do help me but I do not have large funds. I think everyone should have the right to do what they want with their money without having to jump through hoops to do it.

Please do NOT restrict my ability to trade leveraged and/or inverse funds. Inverse funds, particularly, are a way for small investors to protect themselves against market declines. Most of us can't afford to short stocks or Index funds, so inverse funds are the only way to profit in a down market. Taking away that option is a terrible idea. In addition, leveraged funds are a great help for those who don't have huge amounts of money to invest. Well-timed trades yield a better result than plain-vanilla Index funds.

Why should only the large investor get the right to protect their investments during a downturn in the market, which they probably controlled and then not allow the small investor to equally protect their investment when the market goes down, something they probably had nothing to do with the downturn. The playing field should be the same for all investors, not just a small percentage of very wealthy investors. The large investor forces the market down and why should the small investor bears the entire brunt of the downturn while the wealthy investor makes a large profit via inverse funds.

Why would you even think about taking away our ability to trade inverse funds. Once again the government is insinuating we are too stupid to know when and where to trade the funds. I dont need you micro managing my finances. Leave well enough alone. I would also like a response on this. Greg Watson [REDACTED]. Thank you.

Leverage and inverse funds are a low cost way to increase the diversification and/or offset risk at a low cost. I wish you people would leave things alone. People that are ignorant and untrained will still find their way to do stupid things no matter how you try to protect them. If you promote real education on these matters in connection with existing channels that would be more productive. Just leave me alone.

I have a good deal invested in leverage funds on my high risk portfolio side, changing policy to not let me recover or wait strategy out is unacceptable.

I think that I should be able to invest my money the way I want. There should be no test to pass allow me to invest. It is a perfect hedge for future appreciation. Thank you.

Regulators should not interfere or impede with the general public's right to invest in any securities, leveraged or otherwise. Please do not impose these measures upon us.

This rule is an affront to investors everywhere. To think we are not competent enough to make our own decisions is insulting. Please reject this proposal.

This is obvious now that Wallstreet knows there is a huge market crash coming in October 2022 and they dont want us to get rich from inverse. I oppose this new regulation and will seek legal counsel.
