Comments: The education around the risks of these products has been openly communicated to me and other investors. Investing in any of these products is the sole risk of the investor. Many want to stay away from them. For me, it provides a great opportunity for my investment goals. These products cater to a unique need in the market and preventing anyone with those investment goals from accessing these products is a great disservice to their financial future.

We should be heard.

There are a number of "complex" investment instruments available to the public which enhance ones ability to manage investment risk (which has been very beneficial today with the major indexes down 15-20% for the year). These tools are advantageous and are no more difficult to understand or risky then other investment instruments (i.e. options, industry and specialized ETF's, crypto currencies, high yield bonds, small cap growth stocks, etc.). Placing additional burdens on investors to utilize leveraged and inverse funds to me seems misguided and aberrant.

I have an investment/finance degree and have managed investments for numerous years including stocks, bonds, options, futures contracts, etfs, leveraged etfs and inverse leveraged etfs. I do understand risks involved with leveraged and inverse funds and accept those risks. By limiting investment transactions through this regulation WILL take away market efficiency. By taking away market efficiency, asset valuations will go to more extreme (high or low) levels before retracing back to a correct valuation at that moment in time. I am against this regulation!

I am extremely concerned about the threat to my freedom with regards to my investments. I am fully aware of the risks involved in the leveraged funds I choose. I do not need intervention of the government to make decisions for me and my family. I need to make investment decisions to hedge my finances against the governments decisions. For example, the current administration's policy on energy has created excessive fuel and gas prices. My proshares investment has allowed me to continue to afford to put gas in my car and heat my home.

We oppose the limitations on our ability to buy Proshares.

I vehemently oppose any measure or regulation imposed on my behalf for investing of my own money. No one has the right to regulate how I choose to invest my money, test my knowledge, have a certain net worth, use a broker or get special approval from a broker. It is my right to spend, invest, or not, the money that I work for every single day and have since I was 16 yrs of age. Its preposterous to think that any official has the right to take away my rights, ban me due to the amount of money I have or dont have or determine my investment understanding with some created subjective test.

This could potentially deny me the freedom to choose investments, like leveraged ETF's, that could help me achieve long-term financial security. I should be able to choose investments based on the long-standing disclosure-based system, without jumping through even more hoops.

Do not block people from investing. You have some nerve. I am an accountant for high wealth individuals and those people do not deserve to be the only people who can invest. They know less than youd like to think. Why dont you put your energy toward human rights or the climate crisis instead. Stop being so greedy.

Please do not limit my investment options
