It is my right and privilege to be able to invest in funds as I see fit to my investment strategy, to include inverse and leveraged funds. I should not be forced to pass any special tests or processes to be able to invest freely. After 13 years of the Fed funding the markets and over $7 trillion dollars on the Fed balance sheet creating an unprecedented rate of inflation, it is not ironic that the SEC is now considering restricting investment choices. There will be a price to pay for such intervention, it should not be those that choose to invest in inverse funds pay the price.

I disagree with any special process to trade leverage ETFs. It is my choice to take this risk.

Please do not restrict my rights to choose what I invest in. Any publicly traded stock should be just that. Public. If I want to buy it I should not have to pass any kind of test. I am just as smart as any regulator and am able to make my own investing decisions.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest on those Leveraged and inverse ProShare ETFs that are currently offered to public. 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. As long as the description of those funds are available for me to view and understand the risk no additional measures are needed.

This is absolutely ludicrous! When did America stop being America?! If Americans wanted to live in communist country they would just move to China. Think hard about what side of history you want to be on.

I've been investing in the stock markets, bond market, I've traded options and futures as well as currencies for 4 decades, and I do not want to be limited in any way as it relates to investing for example in the stock market if I decide I want to leverage long or short positions or use inverse funds to reach my investment goals. I've been doing this for over 40 years now, and I feel I've earned the right to make that decision myself. To that end I do not believe that any restrictions are warranted as are being proposed in the SEC's proposed rule #S7-24-15.

I believe that I should have the right to choose how & where I invest, not some regulator who restricts my investment choices, and I shouldn't have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities, such as inverse funds. I am fully capable of understanding inverse funds and I don't want or need to have these draconian measures imposed on me. Inverse ETFs are an important part of my investment strategy: I know the risks and I want the regulators to butt out of my private affairs.

Do Not Violate our rights to make investment decisions. Enough is enough of your interference in our lives.

Dear SEC, I'm vehemently opposed to Rule #S7-24-15, as it limits the available securities to the public which are within their right to own. As a licensed investment advisor, we already provide the expertise to our clients to explain leveraged and inverse funds as investments. Specifically, these are not recommended for every client, but can be quite useful for clients as a hedge, and should be available to the investor without a steep set of criteria that limits the market breadth and increases risk by reducing real market forces.

There is no reason for the government to regulate these, no one is forced to buy them, they make a choice. Stay out of it.
