Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy to help hedge against loss during economic downturns. I know that my portfolio is well protected with these hedges and I have a right to invest in these funds. The privileged shouldn't be the only people that can protect their portfolio from loss. These restrictions should not be put in place.
I am very much opposed to proposed rule #S7-24-15. As an active investor I strongly object to any legislation or rulings which impede my ability to invest in vehicles which I deem beneficial to me. If we limit or prevent our economic freedoms , our political freedoms will soon be limited as well.

People not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for citizens and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the citizens, not just the privileged. The people are capable of understanding cryptocurrency funds such as BITO and
I use leverage to build capitol. With the exception of the January, February 2022 pivot in the market I have done very well in leveraged accounts.

Please do not restrict what I may do with my investments. Small investors should not have to pass tests to show their intelligence concerning anything they choose to invest in.

The attemp of this measure on your part is clear You want only the rich to profit on events of future economic turbulence - not the low life non ruling class. Ive done my research and Im well educated on what these funds do. It doesnt take a genius or a class. Go find something else to regulate.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important part of risk management. These funds make it possible to use a small percentage of capital to risk manage the other side of a trade. There are plenty of SEC / FINRA regulation as well as documentation on investments to understand the risk. Should investors ignore reading the documents of any and all investments that is the investors choice.
Dear Sir,
I have good understanding of leveraged and inverse funds and their associated risks. I think leveraged funds like TQQQ are well suited for my short term and long term investment strategies. And these are available to all of the public and not just the privileged.
Therefore, I oppose restrictions my right to invest in leveraged & inverse funds.
