Big government regulations are not needed in controlling investment interest. I should not have to have a degree in investments to be able to choose how I invest. My interest in over the counter investments and pink sheet investments has already been blocked and limits my exit severely due to low volume of stock movement. This move to control trading opportunities, is not in the interest of investors, it should not even be considered. The wealthy should not be the only traders with the ability to trade leveraged assets and inverse funds.

Please do not impose unnecessary regulations on leveraged and inverse funds. This is supposed to be a free market so let investors take their own risks!

I was a previous financial advisor. We became heavily regulated back in the day. The rules are in place and I understand, however when you infringe on peoples personal rights to invest by taking it a step further with the rules and regs already in place, now you are constitutionally wrong with the publics freedom to make fair choices on their personal investments and limiting them in this capacity to create financial freedom for themselves and their family.. A lawsuit is sure to follow regarding personal freedoms and rights. I would be a part of such a suit.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. What individuals choose to do with their money is their right and their responsibility. This type of regulation puts regular people at a much greater disadvantage than they already are. STOP IT!!

I am an individual investor managing my own savings. The leveraged inverse volatility fund is critical for my market volatility and risk management to reach my investment goal of stable long term returns. The leveraged inverse volatility fund smooths out market swings, which is the whole point of stable returns. Other leveraged funds are very useful as well. Don't ban these crucial vehicles for investors. Sincerely

I use inverse etfs to hedge my portfolio. Similar to long only etfs, it allows short position across a broader spectrum than a single stock short position. In my circumstance, understanding and managing the risks of utilizing an inverse etf are a much better way to manage downside risk than the complexity of shorting individual stocks.

I oppose restriction to my right to invest!!

I absolutely think that this proposal to regulate or eliminate the ability of investors like me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds will hurt me and many others. These funds are NOT more risky than buying many individual stocks. The choice to invest in these funds should be made by investors not a government agency.

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. That is what is the seed of whats the erosion of our country is the continued inflection on government entities trying to control the American people! You need to cease and decease from this intrusion of my rights!

Hi, Please leave the current platforms intact. Many investors have adjusted their portfolios to trade and invest in this setup. Changing this will cause major harm to investors. Obviously there is a lack of transparency when leverage products were allowed to manipulate the markets but now it is a mature market and public is very well aware of these products. Please do not change anything but ensure small investors are protected from large computer based systems and trading field is equal to all Navdeep
