Limiting the use of of leveraged, inverted or other funds deemed "complicated" is a gross disservice to the retail investor.

People should be allowed to invest their money however they see fit, and by taking these products off the market, you could actually cause more financial harm than you think you are preventing.

Imagine a scenario where someone is invested in a leveraged fund that experiences a drawdown. And they add to their position while it is down, being patient and waiting to recover their losses when the fund rebounds.

To whom it may concern,
I do not believe in setting "restrictions" for extra risky assets (like triple-leveraged ETFs) in lieu of simple education on those assets. We're all adults, we should be allowed to use our money the way we want to PROVIDED we are fully aware of the circumstances. If the investor is unaware of the differences between a x3 ETF and a normal index ETF (as an example), then that is dangerous -- fix the problem at the source, don't tack on extra restrictions that prohibit ETF trading even though we are fully aware of the risks. Thank you.

I feel that I, not regulators, should have the right to choose the public investments that's best for my family. Publix investment s should be available to all the public, not just the privileged.

I should not have to pass a test in order to invest in public securities, including cryptoocurrency. I am capable of understanding the risk in these types of investments. And I can also research the risk on my own, I Don't need regulators to dictate my actions

I should be able to decide how I want to diversify my investments in order to achieve my financial goals.
