Leveraged ETF/ETNs do pose risks most retail investors do not understand. However, retail investors that understand the risks should not be barred from utilizing these very useful assets. Broker-dealers should require due diligence in line with that of margin approval and options approval. Specific arguments for this approach include:

1. An investor can lose 100% of their investment in a leveraged product, but options and margin can lead to more than a 100% loss.

Crypto needs to be in the hands of investors and not banks. Leave this alone and let our rights be heard.

I believe everyone should be able to invest their currency as they see fit.

Regulators,

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. These funds are important to my investment strategies and represent a very limited part of my overall financial portfolio. These funds help me hedge my investments.

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just a select few. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their associated risks and should not have to take a test or special process in order to do so.

I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to Invest in ETF like BITO.

I object to government regulators deciding what I can and cannot do with my investable funds. I receive a prospectus when I buy products that require them, and the burden is on me to make an informed decision. I do not want to have to take any special courses or pass any tests or explain my reasoning to someone outside my family. I have an investment advisor with whom I can discuss whether something is appropriate for me, and that, along with my intelligence and American citizenship should be enough.

Please think about this: the proper place of government regulation of investing is to make markets honest....to prevent one party from cheating or stealing from another. So for example, you could enforce honest prospectus language. Another appropriate regulation would be to ensure an equal playing ground for all investors. Regulations could support every investor's access to these funds and not just an elite group. Guess what - all investing is risky. All of it. Even the investments considered "safe", such as money market funds or treasuries, have risks (erosion by inflation).

I invest in leveraged etfs all the time and I'm fully aware of the risk involved it would be an injustice to remove my ability to use this investment vehicle thank-you

Keep your hands off my money and investment options! All regulation of retail investors are infringments upon my 'pursuit of happiness'. Please! No more. Thank you.

If I am capable of putting myself into 6 figures of debt to pursue a degree at 18 years old, I am capable of investing my own money and understanding the complexities of investing.
