I'm a regular ordinary not-rich individual. But I'm not stupid and can choose my own investments. Banning or restricting these investments to regular people (and allowing them for the rich and the institutions) is a display of deep disregard for the public. Govt institutions should not be used to just support the rich and connected as we see over and over. These are public investments regular people should be able to invest in should they choose. Thank you.

I am a private citizen who has been managing my own investment accounts for over 20 years. During those years I studied the markets and investment strategies. Initially I had to convince my brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, that I was qualified to trade options and inverse ETFs as well as futures contracts and manage my own accounts. It is very important to me that I be allowed to determine what investment vehicles are appropriate for me and not be told by some beaurocrat what I can and con not invest/trade in. Currently inverse ETFs are an important aspect of my investing strategy.

They aren't that complicated. Do not get rid of inverse or leveraged ETFs.

We as Americans has the right in invest in stocks and bonds of our choice, not regulators. Why should we have to pass a test to invest, we can do our own research and decide if it is worth the risk to invest our money. Many of us have been in the market for decades, it is not up to you what bonds or businesses we support.

Hello 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 more than capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Thank you, Jim

i oppose restriction to my right to invest thanks

I oppose the proposed regulation. I should have the ability to invest how I see fit. I should not have to be part of the connected privileged class in order to invest in leveraged vehicles. This regulation is creating a two tiered class system which goes against all principles of this country. You should be embarrassed for even thinking such a regulation is necessary. You would be better suited to exert your efforts into obvious market manipulation by banks and investment firms. For shame!

NO THANK YOU I AM AN ADULT. Just make people aware of the risk

We, not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us and our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds.

these leveraged and inverse are important to me and should not be regulated I oppose any restrictions
