This is ridiculous, there are already disclosures and warnings most, if not all, brokerages make available to customers prior to accepting leveraged trades. Quit wasting tax payer dollars on this type of garbage. If anything, have investors take a free online education course on leveraged funds. Your [REDACTED] proposal discriminates against the poor and has no consideration for their financial
Ive worked in an administrative position for many years and am well versed in the market. I currently invest in some leveraged etf funds. Like all stocks and bonds, there is always a risk. It is up to the individual to do their homework. It would be highly unfair to subject regular investors to having to take a test or to jump through hoops to buy some of these products. Obviously global
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a responsible, literate adult who is quite capable of researching my own investments. I take full responsibility for my successes and failures as an investor. Now, more than ever, I and other investors need ways to hedge against large drops in the stock market. Your proposal of these restrictions is very suspicious, and actually makes it more obvious that now is the
We don't need more of the nanny state trying to protect us, especially as the federal government creates property and stock market bubbles with their insane federal reserve policies. Perhaps your time would be better spent worrying about the fact the govt is bankrupting the country instead of hand holding investors. Let the free market work. We already get plenty of notification of the
I am 71 years old. I have been investing in stocks bonds and especially ETFs since I was 31. My experience is that leveraged ETFs an inverse leverage ETFS Have allowed me to safely invest for 40 years.

To Regulators, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds because I have more than 40 years of stock and options trading experience in USA. I am capable of understanding those funds and their risks more than any finance professionals. It is totally against the spirit of law under democratic
Citizens must be allowed to invest in any form of Investment that they want. Citizens must be able to determine if they can afford to lose or gain on investments. The government is essentially a partner in the form of taxes levied. If there are any gains, it is a win win situation for the government to not get in the way of this relative new form of investing. I haven't lost any money in
please don’t close or restrict leveraged ETFs. Those are for many years and people made money. If you saw a risk on those you should take action when market was hot during November 2021. Retail investors like me lost money on stock market. If you close or restrict trading thess probably I will not get back my money. I think this is a regulatory scam. Request your kind consideration to have those
This should not be decided by regulators. This should be a freedom decided by the investor whose money is at risk. Should penny stocks, crypto and other equally risky assets be banned as well? Should investors not have the right to buy or sell assets during certain market conditions that regulars deem unsafe for the investor? No, these are decisions for those with assets who have decided to take
Just like I can take a risk on a stock going up, I should likewise be able to take a risk on it going down. Seems like you want to be able to control the market up by flooding us with artificial stimulus ( I consider this endless counterfeiting of our currency) and artificially low interest rates by further increasing our national debt to ridiculous levels but you don't want to suffer the
