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.
Please do not restrict investor access to complex and leveraged products. Yes, there ought to be disclosures of risks and transparency around fund mechanisms. In other words: informed consent. But barring access is undemocratic and wrong. Many leveraged funds are useful tools for investors who lack the requisite capital to use futures to achieve leverage.

I support these modifications. I believe that minimizing the reporting gap will limit some types of short selling abuse and market manipulation. 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.
