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

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. 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. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

Regulators are expected to take into consideration interest of the public. I certainly believe proposed amendment of inverse funds wouldn't serve the interest of investors.

I oppose restrictions on my right to invest and trade in public investments such as leveraged and inverse funds. I would like to continue to use these vehicles to generate profits as well use them for hedging my open positions. Thank you.

This regulation will only hurt the little guy. I have been researching TQQQ for years. And now that I finally understand it and have been invested, you want to take it away. I am not stupid. [REDACTED]. You guys are living high as elites and want to screw the little guy.

I am a high net worth individual. I use the inverse bear index's across a number of categories to hedge my portfolio during periods of uncertainty without using complex option strategies - I have found options to be far more susceptible to losses than reverse indexs. Using options as a hedge involves two variables - the strategy and timing both need to be right. Reverse Indexs remove the need to manage the timing but provide the same optionality. I find the reverse ETF's to be an incredibly valuable tool, and I would prefer my access and ability to trade them remain unfettered.
