I oppose the proposed SEC rule change. We the investor should be able to make decision regarding what we want to invest in without any limits. Leveraged funds can be complex, but we the investors should decide if they are the right fit for our portfolio. Furthermore, Public investments should be available to all of the public,not just the privileged.

You 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. 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. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you.

The ability of to invest in these securities allows me and others the opportunity to hedge longer term position in times of market turmoil. Without this we do not have sufficient tools to properly manage an investment portfolio.

I find it repugnant that unelected officials like yourselves have the audacity to tell me how I can invest my hard earned capital while members of Congress feel that they are entitled to trade on inside information (which is illegal for us "unwashed" ) and allow large funds naked short securities (which is also illegal for us "unwashed" ) and not blink an eye but seem to get bailed out by the Federal Reserve when they "get it wrong". (which us unwashed don't) Your concerns are in the wrong place as usual.

It is my right to invest in funds that I deem valuable to my portfolio. Hedging investments by using inverse funds is an important strategy.

Do not limit my public investments, leveraged and inbverse funds are critical to my investment startegies

please stop regulating me. I should have the right to choose leveraged etf's. we live in a free country.

Hi I should be able to choose how to invest MY money not YOU. Looks to be just one more way to tie the hands of the smaller investor.

I am opposed to any restrictions on my right to invest

The proposed rule is another example of limiting small investors and speculators with the excuse of protecting them. This paternalistic approach only favors the larger investors by making various investment instruments and strategies more difficult to access. This is quite interesting considering it is occurring at a time when it is clear that they will become especially useful. I am completely against this rule. It is becoming more clear that not everyones money is the same. Some will have access and others are excluded because they are deemed to be not intelligent enough.
