I believe that each individual should take the time to understand and then accept the risks of the instruments they use to invest or they should not be using these instruments.
In my opinion, I support the right of individuals to use leveraged ETFs and other alternative financial instruments as a part of their investment strategy. I do not support the government limiting the individual's
I find it troubling that you are considering making unreasonable restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, for several reasons. I should be able to make my own decisions without your blessings, you know nothing about me. Also this will severely hamper my ability to be successful with stock investing. I don't think anyone is more concerned about my financial
I am an investor who trades with New York Stock Exchange shares. In order for markets to truly be free and fair, there needs to be a level playing field for all entities involved. This is agnostic of the risks involved. Deviating from that impacts trust as it can be interpreted that retail investors have different rules from other investor entities. I do not support this rule as it's
Dear Regulators, I have been invested in leverage and inverted ETF funds as part of my personal and IRA investment account portfolio over the last fifteen years. I found them extremely helpful to be able to invest in a specific market sector to diversify or as a hedge to my position. It can avoid some of the risk of picking a wrong stock.

The 2 and 3 times leveraged ETFs have been one of the most innovative and practical financial tools for my portfolio management. Leveraged ETFs are my main tool to hedge my portfolio volatility without liquidating my stocks and attempting to rebuy them later. No further regulation is necessary. There are countless ways to
Dear regulators, Please be advised that I DO NOT WANT any restrictions on these funds. I want to keep the liberty of keeping these funds to invest and trade as freely available as much as any other stocks and ETFs. I completely understand the risk of the market and I do agree of such leveraged and hedge investment ETFs needs to protect as hedged and using as an asset inhancement for my needs for
In a free country I should be free to invest my money the way I see fit, not the way the government wants me to invest. I have done very well in leveraged and inverse funds. Markets go down as well as up and you can beat the market without the risk of individual stocks by using leveraged funds. The government has already taken far too many of our rights away in an effort to cater to powerful
If you propose to regulate Leveraged and Inverse funds to the general public don't allow just the wealthy few to have access to this type of investment . Since they pose risks outside a normal stock or mutual fund maybe a person should have to read and sign a Letter of Understanding before investing. I invest in TQQQ and I can see sharp gains and steep drops in my account. So I know the
