Dear Sirs, As usual the government agencies seem to think they are protecting individual investors from ourselves. Please stop trying to help us. Youre not. Let us compete with the big boys without tying one hand behind our backs.

I strongly suppose SEC proposed Rule #S7-24-15 I believe just like everyone has a choice to smoke, drink, choose their career the people should also have the choice to invest their money where ever they deem best. You shouldnt have to prove a high net worth to be able to have access to riskier funds.

I am a retiree living on the income from my investments. Federal Reserve policy has all but stripped me of the ability to invest simply (bonds) to achieve reasonable returns to cover my living expenses. I rely on leverage in equity funds to make the returns I need. I'm required to be more sophisticated as an investor because of federal policy that ignores my needs coupled with predatory taxation. We DON'T NEED FURTHER BURDEN ON RETIREE INVESTORS.

As an adult investor I should be able to choose what investments I make for myself and my family. This is an over reach of regulators. I use these funds to hedge my investments and to enhance returns. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Please do not pass #S7-24-15.

I'm very disappointed to hear that regulators may restrict our ability to trade publicly traded inverse funds. I use these funds regularly to hedge a small part of my total portfolio to add protection in a declining market. I am aware of the risks of doing this, just as I am aware of the risks of investing in an publicly traded security. Restricting the purchase of these leverage funds would likely mean I would have to learn and understand using options to hedge my risk. This appears to be a much more complicated process.

My wife who is a financial advisor has been using these type of investments to trade our account so please refrain from pulling them off the exchange

I want to be able to choose what investments are right for me. I want these funds to be available to me to choose from. I'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. These funds are an important part of my investment strategy. They help me protect my investments some times and some times give me better returns and use these as certain part of my investment mix. I seriuosly hope I don't have to go thru any hoops to be able to do this.

this rule is anti-competetive and unfair to the smaller retail investor. I strongly oppose it and its unfair restrictions it would pose to me as an individual investor. Please do not implement this rule in its current form. People like me have the right to make investment decisions as we see fit with our own money.

Don't ban or restrict leveraged ETFs.
