I have used inverse and leveraged funds for many years. If I want to invest that way it is my risk or opportunity. I am not the least interested in having someone else decide for me what to do with my money. I accept responsibility for my own actions. Government is destroying the dollar and thinks it is a good investment advisor ? I think not!!!!!!!

Leveraged and inverse funds are NOT too arcane and complex for the typical investor. They provide an important counterbalance to market volatility generated by ultrafast automated algorithms programs which DO impinge on the typical investor. I urge you to NOT limit the access of the typical investors to these funds.

please do not pass this law . It is our right to make our own decisions .

The Nanny State should stay out of telling investors how to invest. Look how brilliant it has been in controlling inflation, actually by bringing it on. (And soon to bring on recession by it's policies.) No test, no restrictions!

The risks of trading leveraged and inverse ETFs are well known. Retail traders who can trade options or futures should be able to trade such ETFs without restriction. Its less expensive and easier to do than trading options and futures and dealing with margin etc.

I don't think it's right to limit my investment opportunity

I am totally opposed to the Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 for the following reasons: 1. I am a small investor that has invested in leverage funds for greater than 20 years and am quite capable of understanding the risks of using leverage funds. In fact, I find it offensive that a regulator would question my knowledge of the market by using some gimmick like passing a special test related to my understanding of the pit falls of leverage funds. 2. Because I am a small investor, I prefer not to short stocks.

I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should be able to choos the public investments that are right for myself. Why are you all even considering making us go through a special process and placing these kinds of restrictions in general. I don't have much. I am a hardworking young lady just trying to make a place for myself in this world. I should be able to use my hard earned money to invest in the way that I choose. This is America. I am just trying to have the American dream. Please please please do not place these restrictions on us. I beg you please!!

Leveraged and Unleveraged etf have been used to hedge against the downward market trend for a while not only by sophisticated user but the likes of people who actively manage there brokerage account. Taking it away would not only provide less tools for a retail investor like me but also only benefit only the rich who qualify as accredited investors. There are simply not many options for retail investors to obtain hedges without investing too much money.

The individual small investor should have access to any and all investment vehicles available without arbitrary restrictions. This includes leveraged and inverse instruments as well as institutional products if the individual has sufficient capital to invest in these products.
