The individual investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right for themselves and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. not regulators the regulators should stay out of how the public makes their trading decisions.

I would like you to leave leveraged ETFs alone. I should be able to choose to have a risky security in my portfolio. At WORST, I would be willing to accept a qualification process based on risk tolerance, but not amount of income or assets, or experience. I,e a poor but educated and informed aggressive investor should not be prohibited.
Thank you
I oppose these proposed regulations because I already have full access to information about the risks of inverse and leveraged funds and further federal gatekeeping is not needed or welcome. Especially in markets that reflect the heavy hand of the Federal Reserve investors ought not be barred from protecting their own financial interests with a full range of investment tools.

Hourly synchronized aggregation and reporting of this data is possible with modern computing and would limit the gray zones in which HFT’s can exploit informational lag.
There needs to be accurate, timely, and mandatory reporting guidelines around short interest. Accurate and timely would be the important part for the individual investors.
