Hello,
I make my own investment decisions. I do my research, assess the risks, and manage those risks as part of my total investment portfolio and strategy.
Please do not limit my investment choices.

These types of funds are crucial to retirement accounts that are not eligible for margin. Inverse ETF's give you the ability to protect yourself from downside risk, which is important because one is not able to put on any short positions in a retirement account.... and sometimes regular cash accounts too!

I oppose government mandated restrictions on types of investments. I feel it is my right to choose what type of products to invest in, including leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are extremely important to my long term investment strategy, especially as it allows me to keep emergency cash funds more easily accessible. I understand my risks when investing in any product, and should be able to make my own decisions.

I oppose the proposed rule that would restrict my ability to use public instruments in my investing. I have been using leveraged and inverse funds for about 20 years. I follow my investments quite closely and before starting to use these funds, I examined their pros and cons. Since then, I have come to the conclusion that leveraged funds are simply volatile instruments, of which there are many Is this the beginning of burdensome regulations on other investments?

We consider it critical in this nation, that we, the public, have full ability, without any controls/restrictions on how and what we invest. This is a founding freedom of our country.

Me 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.
