Hi - I am an educated investor. Inverse leveraged ETF helps me to hedge/protect my portfolio. Kindly do not take that away from us. Thank you!

Pro Shares levered funds provide an avenue for individual investors to balance investments.

It is not right that I as a private investor be denied the access to inverse funds, I use to hedge my account against market declines. you are going to remove or limit one of my safeguards. This is not needed or wanted.

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. I 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. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They help me protect (hedge) my investments or seek enhanced returns.

This should not be decided by regulators. This should be a freedom decided by the investor whose money is at risk. Should penny stocks, crypto and other equally risky assets be banned as well? Should investors not have the right to buy or sell assets during certain market conditions that regulars deem unsafe for the investor? No, these are decisions for those with assets who have decided to take on these risk. Putting bans on these assets won't stop until all risky assets are banned greatly hampering the rights of freedom of the American investor.

As an individual investor I would like to have access to leveraged and inverse funds trading. I've been trading these types of investments for over 10 years. We the individuals are the small guys and to take this away from us would be a pretty big blow. I would also like to know the reason for this proposed change or changes. Sometimes seeing the other side of the coin helps perspective. Thank You

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. Accredited investor and qualified purchaser rules already restrict high-yield and historically lucrative investments to the highly affluent.

I strongly object to ANY regulation change affecting my personal choice to trade any/all market vehicles including leveraged funds. I DO understand leveraged fund risk, these funds along with risk also provide opportunity I rely upon. I see new requirements such as forced testing as an infringement on my U.S. FREEDOMS, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Chance, Freedom of Action. MY individual trade decisions - be they winners OR losers, are solely MY risk and responsibility. As a retiree -- trading is my JOB, my income source. Please do not interfere with MY Freedom of Job choice.

Proshares have been a valuable tool for managing risk for my portfolio. Being a small investor I don't want to loose that security.

It is a free market, it is also condescending to not allow individuals to manage their own investment strategy, while allowing the 1 percent or large hedge funds. Seem just another way to cut out people from being able invest on their own.
