Please keep the markets free. All stocks have risks and rewards. Please allow investors to do research and calculate these risks ourselves. This is not an unlimited leveraged risk.
If you regulate this, then you should regulate all stocks.
People take on risk whenever they put money into financial instruments. It is the buyers responsibility to be aware of the risks, even for leveraged and inverse instruments. The risk of these instruments is not so much greater than ordinary instruments that special regulatory framework is needed.

Comments: Enough already!!! Investors are aware of the risks in the stock market. The risks encountered by "L&I Funds" are not much greater than risks that the broader so called safe market experiences. If you need to regulate something, regulate "robot trading"
I would like to ask that you not restrict investment in leveraged or inverse funds to a select few who meet certain standards.
The United States has opperated for a long time with a free market in which people are able to invest and engage in unrestricted legal activity that accrues to their own benefit or loss. Your goal as regulators should be to protect people from crime by others or from
I have invested in leveraged funds for over 20 years. Although they have risk, I am retired and would like to preserve wealth. I do this through leveraged funds.

I understand these instruments are

I would hope that the purpose of the rules and regulations you apply are to protect individuals and ensure fairness in the markets. Restricting the access of the masses to markets makes them less fair.

I consider the proposed restrictions for individual investors to trade leveraged ETF's to be an egregious attack on my personal freedom. I do not need another Big Brother interfering to protect me from any perceived risk to my financial security.

Eliminating inverse leveraged ETFs will cause more risk for investors as they will be forced to spend more money on long leaps and be forced to shorting stocks which has unlimited risk. People need to be able to think for themselves and make their own decisions based on their risk tolerance.
