I have been investing in leveraged and inversed funds, as one of my strategies, for over twenty years and have a very good understanding of my investments. Now, with your proposed rule, you are taking away my freedom to select how I invest in a well respected investment selection. If you want to control, which you seem to want to do, go after crypto, because it is going to cost investors big time in the end. My broker requires me to sign a waiver, that states I understand the risk when I invest in a hedged fund, that has been and should be enough.

I oppose limitations on my rights to buy the funds

Investing is risky by nature, however the ability to use leveraged and inverse funds as a component of a total portfolio allows me to make considered hedges when there is volatility in the market or when the direction of the market seems clear. I am opposed to the proposed regulation and believe that it will place an unnecessary burden on ordinary investors while providing an edge to institutional investors. Please do not pass this regulation.

I use leveraged inverse funds to hedge my portfolio during times of market turbulence. This means I eliminate volatility from my portfolio during volatile times. I am able to do this with leveraged funds and reduce the amount of margin I may need to use since the fund is leveraged at a better rate. Please let investors make this decision for themselves.

I strongly oppose limiting access to public securities for the select few who pass unnecessary tests. The public is perfectly capable of reading and understanding a prospectus and the associated risks and making wise investment decisions for themselves and their families. The securities under consideration for additional regulation such as leveraged and inverse funds are a key strategy to my family's plan to reach retirement with the necessary means. They are critical to enhancing returns to speed the process of compounding.

This is a very concerning development - are we turning into a China??? Please stop!

Assure information is provided so I can make a decision. I dont need you deciding for me and telling me what I can or cannot do and then tell me its for my safety; in doing so you are overstepping.

Properly structured, leveraged and inverse funds provide investors with alternative methods of making their money work for them. I believe they have a place in a the investment world.

Do not restrict my right to invest in whatever public investments I choose. I'm an adult and an American citizen and have the right to do so. It's not your job to make those decisions for me.

stop the attempt to over-regulate the current leveraged and inverse funds/ETFs
