This should not be decided by regulators. This should be a freedom decided by the investor whose money is at risk. Should penny stocks, crypto and other equally risky assets be banned as well? Should investors not have the right to buy or sell assets during certain market conditions that regulars deem unsafe for the investor? No, these are decisions for those with assets who have decided to take on these risk. Putting bans on these assets won't stop until all risky assets are banned greatly hampering the rights of freedom of the American investor.

As an individual investor I would like to have access to leveraged and inverse funds trading. I've been trading these types of investments for over 10 years. We the individuals are the small guys and to take this away from us would be a pretty big blow. I would also like to know the reason for this proposed change or changes. Sometimes seeing the other side of the coin helps perspective. Thank You

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. Accredited investor and qualified purchaser rules already restrict high-yield and historically lucrative investments to the highly affluent.

I strongly object to ANY regulation change affecting my personal choice to trade any/all market vehicles including leveraged funds. I DO understand leveraged fund risk, these funds along with risk also provide opportunity I rely upon. I see new requirements such as forced testing as an infringement on my U.S. FREEDOMS, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Chance, Freedom of Action. MY individual trade decisions - be they winners OR losers, are solely MY risk and responsibility. As a retiree -- trading is my JOB, my income source. Please do not interfere with MY Freedom of Job choice.

Proshares have been a valuable tool for managing risk for my portfolio. Being a small investor I don't want to loose that security.

It is a free market, it is also condescending to not allow individuals to manage their own investment strategy, while allowing the 1 percent or large hedge funds. Seem just another way to cut out people from being able invest on their own.

I strongly oppose any action to regulate investment in complex instrument such as leveraged and inverse ETFs, ETNs, or options. As an American citizen, my right to make my own investment decisions and enjoy the benefits, or incur the consequences, is my constitutional right. I do not need someone, no matter their intent, deciding what I should invest in. Individual liberty, not control imposed by regulation is essential to this country's continued success. I oppose any regulation that limits my freedom to make my own decisions.

I use leveraged and inverse funds as a hedge against other investments in my portfolio. I think everyone should be able to do this.

I oppose restrictions to invest in leveraged and inverse funds

We have all experienced big government in every aspect of our lives but it must stop right here right now! We are all capable of choosing investments for us & our families without government interference on what investments are tight for us or how to choose whats right for our own portfolio! Stay out of our lives already!!
