Hello, I heard about the information that you potentially limit the trading of some ETFs using leveraged and reverse strategies. I strongly be against it, because I believe it's my right to choose the public investments that suit for my family and myself, not the regulators. Moreover, these ETFs are important to my investment strategies. So, please respect the rights of individual
