Dear Sirs: I am writing to express my opinion that existing investor access to leveraged ETFs should be maintained. These investments are straightforward (leverage 1X, 2X, 3X, etc.) and every investor must understand that risk is inherent with these investments. As with any other investment. I consider leveraged ETFs to be much less risky than US traded Chinese stocks. The Chinese Variable Interest Entity (VIE) structure is highly risky and should be made illegal I believe. Please leave leveraged ETFs along, and ban all US traded Chinese stocks from trading on US stock exchanges.

This is where I invest my hard working money. This is a public investment. It should not be regulated into an opportunity that only a privileged few will have access to. Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my portfolio and I do not want to lose that opportunity.

Why does the federal government always think that they know what is best for everyone? If the federal government can manage my money better than I , why is the deficit so high? But out.

I've been investing in different leveraged instruments in my country during 35 years. I understand the risks and benefits this activity can produce. I decide freely when buy/sell taking profit with no interactions with nobody. I developed my own model to do this.

I completely disagree with the proposed regulations to impose restriction or any limitations on my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse leveraged funds. The risks associated with these investments, like any other investment vehicle, are clearly detailed in the Prospectus documents which are readily available to the public. I oppose Government regulators imposing what I view as arbitrary and wholly unnecessary rules and special procedures directed to leveraged or inverse funds.

Please don't remove leveraged etfs from being attainable by the retail investor. They are an important option in the spectrum of investments available to us. Net worth doesn't change ones ability to research and understand the strengths and weaknesses of given investments. Additional disclosures or warnings to ensure investors know what they are getting into is fine but they should be attainable to everyone.

We're big boys and girls. We can deal with risk. We don't need regulators telling what we can and can't invest in.
