I believe that I myself 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 my investment strategies. I use them as a part of my overall portfolio to help protect my investments. I should be able to choose my own investments without regulators questioning my knowledge level.

The extremely wealthy have all sorts of extra tools and methods to protect their wealth. I know, because I have worked most of my life for hedge funds and family offices. For the more ordinary individual, one of the only practical ways to protect their equity investments from economic turmoil is through inverse funds and leveraged funds. Please, please do not do anything to limits these important investment funds. These leveraged and inverse funds should be available to all. Thanks for your consideration.

I strongly oppose the proposed regulations. My investing is my choice, and I don't need anybody holding my hand.

You need to allow investors to invest in these funds, stop your unfair practices against common investors

FINRA Regulators, as a self employed professional engineer who also sits on the Snyder County Planning Commission for the last 10 years, issues of regulatory affairs are common to me. And as a person who manages 2/3 of my retirement portfolio, having inverse tools to help protect against market downturns is vital to me. This is the second time within 10 years that an appeal has been made to keep inverse and leveraged funds. Given that I am now 70 years old, it is even more vital that these inverse ETF tools remain in effect to protect my savings of a lifetime. Respectfully Submitted,

Please do not take away my ability to trade these ETFs.

Many leveraged instruments, such as TQQQ and SQQQ are commonly used by even young investors. Even my teenagers know about them and sometimes use them. They are a very common and useful part of the investing landscape, and limiting their access would do more harm than good.

I oppose the SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 for the following reasons 1. It is a form of Central Control for the "government" to impose its judgement on investors about investment vehicles that play a key role in risk mitigation for portfolio managers. 2. It is way to impose additional costs on investors and barriers to market efficiency. When markets are made less efficient people will find new places to invest that are efficient, open and honest. 3. It is clearly an attempt to prop up the market in the short run for political benefit for the Democrats in control. 4.

Please do not implement the draconian rules on leveraged investments....

I, and only I should be able to choose which investments are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process to invest in leveraged or inverse ETF's. There is no more risk to these investments than multitudes of individual stocks, which I have witnessed in real time over many years. I have built my entire investing strategy and process around these funds. Please do not infringe on the public right to invest freely in the free markets.
