You might have noticed some market volatility over the last couple of decades. There is no better way for small investors to protect themselves than with leveraged and inverse funds. Please resist the urge to pass legislation that is unlikely to accomplish whatever objectives are being touted.

Please stop treating smart people like they are stupid. The stupid ones will never look far enough into an investment to make a mistake, or if they do, its their fault. Give the smart ones a chance to make investments that will increase their wealth. My son is worth about $850K - he can't invest in many things that require accreditation. Don't deprive him of the ones he can invest in. He is typical of many - almost wealthy enough, smart, growing his wealth through many opportunities, rather than just the stock market.

Free market capitalism is a bastion of personal liberty. It is what makes the United States of America the greatest nation in history. I do not need protection from freedom. Your time could be better spent in ways to numerous to list - BUZZ OFF!

I oppose limitations on my ability to buy the Funds.

We as investors should be able to choose our investments as we see fit. If there are excessive risks they should be noted but let the buyer beware! I prefer to hedge ( especially within IRA's) with leveraged ETF's as options are often not allowed within IRA's. The ability to hedge should not be only for the privileged. Thank you for considering our input!

Please do not impose further regulations on leveraged ETFs. Investors such as myself use these vehicles responsibly to invest in targeted asset classes. We fully realize the risks involved, please do not restrict our ability to invest in these products.

You 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'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

The attemp of this measure on your part is clear You want only the rich to profit on events of future economic turbulence - not the low life non ruling class. Ive done my research and Im well educated on what these funds do. It doesnt take a genius or a class. Go find something else to regulate.

The SEC's proposed regulations are discriminatory against regular retail investors and favor only wealthy or institutional investors. The government has already rigged the market with the gangster activities of the Federal Reserve and Treasury buy lumping on trillions of dollars of debt to prop up the market. This latest slap in the face to retail investors can't go unnoticed. Stop this charade you are trying to put over on the public.

Why would you prevent me from making investments of my own choosing. Markets go up and down. Inverse ETFs provide a way for my self-directed IRA to make gains when the market is going down. This year alone, my IRA is up while the general market (s&p, Nasdaq, Russel) are down. I couldn't have that performance without using inverse ETFs. I understand the risk of inverse and leveraged ETFs but also only invest a smaller percentage of my portfolio in such instruments.
