I appose rule #S7-24-15. I have been using leveraged and inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy for years. They are vital as a hedge against long positions during market downturns, or to enhance returns when the markets are moving higher. They are a critical tool, and are used sparingly. There is no reason why only High Net Worth individuals should have access to these instruments. There is no reason why anyone should have to pass a test use these instruments. It should be the choice of all individuals how to best invest their money not regulatory dictates.

I should be the one, not regulators, to choose public investments that at correct for my portfolio. No special process should not be required, and certainly not test performed to determine my ability to invest in public securities. Leveraged and inverse funds are very important to my investment strategies in hedging, enhanced returns, and as a limited part of my portfolio. I dont need someone else telling me what to do, or dictating what is safe for me. Regulators must leave my private decisions alone.

Leverage ETFs provide efficient use of capital for small investors without much access to capital. Investor should be allowed to invest in security of their choice without interference of regulators. There should not be a special securities test for investing in any security. Leverage security help small investor hedge portfolio without high cost futures account.

The leveraged funds represent the American spirit. Good or bad, it is my choice. Stop the manipulation.

Do not restrict my right to invest my hard earned money in whatever product I so choose. Leveraged, inverse, variable rate, option, etc. products are important tools for individual investors like myself. Individual investors can and do understand many complex investments and investment strategies. Individuals have to be allowed to make mistakes in life, including investments, as part of the freedom and competition which provide a health economy and free society.

I am a Registered Nurse with no formal financial/stock education. I however can do my own due diligence when it comes to what stocks I decide to buy and invest in. The inverse/leveraged ETFs allow me to easily diversify and lower my overall risks. STAY OUT OF MY ACCOUNTS AND FOCUSE YOUR TIME ON SOMETHING USEFUL!

I am opposed to your proposed limitations on my ability to purchase and sell investments. Your proposed rule should not be implemented.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Hi, please do not stop me from using leveraged and inverse funds, I am fully knowledgeable about these investment tools. Thank you.

I believe leveraged and inverse funds play an important role and provide a desired product in the marketplace. I rely on these funds to enhance my returns in a diversified manner. I have been investing for over 30 years managing my own portfolio. I believe that I am capable of understanding the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds, and I can judge to what extent I want, and can, withstand exposure to them in my portfolio.
