I myself - 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. I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I am quite capable of understanding these funds and their risks.

please vote no on this legislation

I 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. 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 am perfectly capable of understanding the risks and determining whether it is a good investment for me.

I heard the whining and railing of the uninformed idiocacy during the last down turn. Some were blaming the severity of the drop in stock prices on SHORTs and wanted action taken to BAN them. Are you part of that craze? The small investor or beginners don't necessarily have the avenue to create wealth in a BEAR market. Inverse ETFs and short funds are exceptionally useful to us when used judiciously. Let the people be the judge as to what means they use to make a buck.

Do not become a fascistic body married to only allowing the already well-todo profit from leverage. When its obvious with Archaegos as just one example that you all are just as degenerate as the retail if not more grossly so. Stop trying to steal the working mans ability to make a buck, because your entire cottage industry is being exposed for just how fraudulent and slanted it is. Just like the Pattern Day Trader rule its designed to keep the rich rich and poor poor. If you ever had to answer to a constitutional or elected body for this youd be impugned and you know it. How dare you.

Hello just a few concerns about sec proposed rule#57 I believe it should be my choice not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right forme and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I also believe I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. regulatorsdo not need these measures imposed on me.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critically important hedging instruments for managing risk in cost-effective ways. Stripping individuals of the right to freely use and learn about these tools risks creating a market where valuation becomes disconnected from price (as the bets are less precise and more homogenous), and the market loses the ability to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful companies, creating systematic risk for all players.

As a US citizen, I value the right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions, and the freedom to access a broad range of investment products that help me build better portfolios. As information on investments is more readily available than ever before, I have become a knowledgable investor without the need for additional restrictive regulatory hurdles, and I would like to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing.

I have been trading my account in emerging markets for 40 years and leveraged funds for 20 years. I am very comfortable and have been pleased with the results. Currently I believe the market is overvalued and the ONLY investment with which I am comfortable is leveraged inverse fund which are beginning to rise. Please do not prohibit me from making my own decisions.

This is my responsibility to make or to lose money; Big Brother does not need to intrude
