I guess the idea of more far-reaching regulations is to protect some some investors from losing money. But what about those who might make money? Why should policy be based on one group, and not the other? But even if it would save all investors money, I would still opposed to it -- because it is not the role of government to effectively be making investment decisions for its citizens. The whole premise behind that is one that is inconsistent with a free people. Such a policy would foster a state of mind that would be inconsistent with a free person.

Restricting public access to downside hedges during a bear market will result in compulsory put option protection and force investors, who you fear aren't capable of managing an inverse ETF, to manage a portfolio of option hedges instead.

You will increase the average investor's risk burden this way, putting otherwise prudent investors in jeopardy.

We don't need big brother controlling our financial decisions. This is not 1984! I've already graduated from school many years ago. I don't need to take anymore tests. Leveraged and inverse funds are used to control risk in my portfolios.
Taking them away only puts my investments at a greater risk. Please give me and other investors like me Freedom To Choose.
Thank you

Do not restrict me from investing in triple-leveraged ETFs. I'm an older millennial who got involved in investing later in life because financial literacy wasn't being taught in schools. I need triple leveraged investment products to catch up with my investing goals on retirement.

The government should not be overstepping their bounds and override the people's rights of investment. The government should be for the people and not working against the people.

everyone should be able to invest. I 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.

Please leave me alone to make my own investment decisions. I understand the risk/reward of leveraged and Inverse funds. I've been investing in these type funds for years and think it unnecessary to regulate.

I as an American citizen should have access to these products, not left only for the rich. The entire stock market is a complex beast, but with research there are many tools to become more informed. I am capable of making my own informed decisions. We as small investors should not have to jump through hoops that others do not. There are already so many restrictions and we should not have any more added. For once can we have the little guy have a chance instead of rules that only let the rich get richer. Thank you for your consideration.

I appreciate the ability to choose the right investment vehicle for my needs. I am educated, understand the risks, and as a small investor benefit from the unique offerings of the ProShares funds.
