I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST It is important to note that, 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.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your investment strategies. Consider explaining ways you use leverage and inverse funds, including that they help you protect (hedge) your investments or seek enhanced returns, and if you use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.

Dear Sirs, I have read your proposed regulations related to "complex" investments, and I would like to voice my opinion. I am somewhat surprised that regulators are focused on the investors themselves rather than on the fundamental function of regulating the markets through conditions imposed on funds and traded securities. I would definitely approve and happily participate in any survey your initiate in the pursuit of your regulatory authority for the purpose of assessing investor know-how.

I want to express my disagreement with the restrictions that are to be imposed in order not to operate certain assets as is currently being done.

Restricting my ability to used leveraged and inverse funds would reduce my ability to generate taxable income. I love that I can support government programs through taxable income earned in leveraged and inverse funds.

I am writing to comment against passage of proposed rule #S7-24-15. As a retiree the use of inverse and leveraged funds are important vehicles for managing risk to my retirement. They provide diversification that is not available in any other products. I do not need to be protected from using these products. Indeed if these products had not been available to me my retirement portfolio would be much smaller.

I am an educated investor and aware of the potential risks of utilizing leveraged and inverse funds. To take away these tools from the average investor will significantly impact their ability to compete with the pros. Please do not continue down this regulatory path. This is not going to accomplish a positive goal for the general public.

I would like to purchase leveraged ETFs

Focus your time and energy on stopping NAKED SHORTING INSTEAD!

I have used leveraged funds in all my accounts both retirement and taxible accounts since they have been available. I use the funds in several ways one as a hedge and the other as part of a longer term strategy and am aware of the risks associated with these types of accounts and how they operate and close out positions each day. I do not want to have to jump through any more hoops to be able to continue to use them and feel the existing warnings etc. currently employed are more than sufficient as is. Thank you for your consideration. John m Brug
