Investors have the right to invest their money in the investments of their choice. We take the risk and that should be our right. America is a free country, not to be controlled by the government.

i agree with the statements that their should not be any regulators taking control and forcing me to take tests. please dont take my rights away

Please do not regulate my choices as an investor. I would like the freedom to invest as I see fit.

It would be incredibly unfair. This is the only way the little guy can play fairly in the market.

Please keep access easy and open like it is now and only add regulations where situations with cause would trigger an action to investigate and/or take action after some due process.

The average Joe is capable of investing without interference. The last thing this country needs is more regulation and oversight. If you need something to do, join the green idiots in congress and focus on something really useless.

IT'S UNFAIR TO NOT ALLOW US TO TRADE/INVEST IN LEVERAGED ETF'S WHEN YOU HAVE GIVEN EVERY DISCLOSURE KNOWN TO MAN IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROTECT INVESTORS. IF YOU'VE GIVEN DISCLOSURES OF RISK AND I HAVE HALF A BRAIN IN MY HEAD I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WITH MY MONEY WHAT I WISH. THE AMOUNT OF REGULATION HAS BECOME ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND ANNOYING, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL CRASHES AND BULL MARKETSS OVER ALMOST 40 YEARS AS I HAVE. INVERSE FUNDS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT INVESTORS. DON'T LIMIT THE AVAILABILITY.

I should have the right to and freedom to invest in any funds. I'm an adult that can choose my own risks and rewards and shouldn't be limited to such. I find this proposed rule a corrupt fraudulent act.

It's so important to survive these difficult times to have a place to run I only have $90,000 If you want to regulate the big boys fine but please leave the little investors free. Thanking you in advance Norm

Leveraged ETFs and inverse ETFs give individual investors reliable tools with which to hedge against market downturns. The leverage on the short side for inverse ETFs allows them to hold a smaller position against existing longer-term holdings as a hedge in the same manner that professionals use futures to achieve the same goal. On the long side, they allow investors to participate in market upside, e.g., bull markets, in a manner that avoid headline risk with individual stocks.
