I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in any public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am quite capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and am actually insulted that you think you know what is right for me. I do not need these measures imposed on me or any other investor.

Sirs: I personally use inverse leveraged funds as a small part of my overall investment strategy. This protection is not available through other investment vehicles and request your leaving them as is.

I am an adult. I, not regulators, can decide what investments are right for me. No tests or proof of a "high net worth" are necessary to determine the appropriateness of where and how I invest my money. Why should only the wealthy have the freedom to invest their funds as desired? My success in investing in leveraged and inverse funds is important to my overall financial strategy, and the last thing I need is more hoops to jump through in order to secure my financial gains. Please focus your attention instead on regulation of larger entities such as hedge funds.

STOP THE MADNESS! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 66 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of making these decisions on my own, and furthermore should NOT be subject to taking exams to prove my knowledge in the industry. Especially on the inverse and leveraged funds that are available.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I would like to tell regulators that I do not need these measures imposed on you. My leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and help protect my investments while enhancing my returns.

I am an active trader and enjoy trading these ETFs. It is my pastime and I would hate to lose it. I don't do it to make large sums of money.

Please, please, please continue to grant us full flexibility in the number and type of funds available for investment. The current situation aids in liquidity and is much less disruptive than a more restricted situation.

I oppose new regulations to limit me from trading 3X or inverse ETF. Thanks

Hello---I feel I should have the right, not a regulator, to make my own decisions regarding my personal investments and strategies. Furthermore, I shouldn't be required to have to pass a test to invest in anything I which I would like to invest--it is not the governments job to regulate my personal choices and my preference for my personal investments. Please do not regulate my personal decisions.

Shorting stocks is critical for markets to operate with maximum liquidity. Leverage that is speculation that fuels shorting stocks. Many investors dont have available funds in their trading accounts to short stocks directly. Leveraged shorting allows better gains than otherwise. Please keep inverse leveraged funds available for trading
