Dear Regulators, I, not you, should choose whether I can invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. additionally, I should not have to take and/or pass any tests to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am fully aware of the risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs.

Using inverted and leveraged etfs is a better alternative then using options. Which would be the only other way you could insure or hedge your position. And it's alot less risky.

To Whom it May Concern: As an educated citizen of the United States of America, I should have the right to invest in securities that best suit myself and my family. Since I am educated, I have the ability and the responsibility to be informed about the positions I purchase and the investments I make. As such, I can benefit from the profits and bare the losses of my own decisions. The government should impose no restrictions on my rights to buy leveraged and inverse funds because I am responsible for my own actions. I currently use leveraged inverse investments to protect my assets.

Please do not impose this rule. This leaves only wealthy investors to take part in opportunities with these funds. Investors know there are risks inherent with investing, especially in leveraged funds. This new rule will hurt investors, not help them. I strongly urge you to reconsider. Thank you.

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. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I* can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need the proposed measures imposed on me.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST

I firmly oppose any regulation that prevents me from investing in leveraged or inverse funds. I have utilized such funds on many occasions. To implement regulation that prevents me from doing would only serve to un-level the investment playing field. To do so would create a situation where inverse or leveraged funds are accessible only to the wealthiest in our society.

I am against this proposed rule.

I am opposed to a plan which makes restrictions on being able to buy and sell inverse funds without jumping through a variety of hoops to get permission. However, it would be good to have rules on the prospectus documents explaining in very clear language what the unusual risks are from using the funds. The special coverage of risks could be put right at the beginning of the prospectus and highlighted as especially important to read and understand.
