Please do not put any limitations and or limit and one's ability to buy/sell shares. Put yourself as the person who's not wealthy and or rich. Would you want someone to restrict your financial abillity to progress? If the answer is "no" than do the same thing and stop with what you're trying to do. Kind regards

I understand the risks of leveraged investment instruments. Requiring high net worth or other regulations would not safeguard investors, but discriminate against them.

Kindly give us the freedom to make our own investment choices

This would stop the normal American from being able to do investments.

I don't want my rights taken away, to invest in products that I feel may give me the ability to hedge positions. I don't need the extra oversight. I understand the risks and can manage my own decisions. Please do not take my ability to make decisions on my own away from me.

Myself and my partner should be able to choose the public investments that are right for ourselves and our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. We both enjoy the complexities of the stock market and the option to invest in what we see fit. Please do not limit those of us who have fought for this country (I am a Veteran) and too often do I see the rich elite getting treated with favoritism while the rest of us have to scrape by. There is no reason for anything to change right now and I hope you hear all of our voices and concerns.

I should be able to choose my investment

Dear Sir or Mz, Please do not put into place any regulation or test which would impede a retail investors ability to trade leveraged index funds. Trading leveraged index funds such as ProShares funds is a convenient, easy way for a small investor to make a good living. There is always risk in any trading activity. This is well understood by the great majority of traders whether small or professional.

It will minimize my investment choice. This will only making the rich getting much richer.

Good day, First, I want to applaud your efforts to make things safer for investors, both retail and institutional. The US remains one the safest places to put money to work. I would like to comment on this proposed rule. To be clear, as a retail investor, I do not approve of this rule change. Let me explain my rational. I believe markets respond most to the change in inflation and growth. I subscribe to Hedgeye Risk Management to help me track this dynamic. I am not a financial professional, so I do not have the resources to track this information myself.
