As of this date/ ProShares stock is around 23$. Like all stock-you may acknowledge that you can lose money. There should be an understanding that it is suggested that you limit your investment. You may want to request that ProShares send out a letter of understanding of what ProShares is all about and the that the possible investor check mark each paragraph that was read and hopefully
Leveraged ETFs are very helpful financial tool for retail investors. They are important to my investment approach. It provides investors access to a basket of stocks and in general it has protection against short raids by hedge funds. Please keep these important investment options around. DO not make retail investors even more weaker by taking this tool away from them.
Please do not impose more unnecessary burdensome regulations on ordinary investors who are just straightforward buying and selling leveraged funds like any other equity shares in other company stocks.
We sorely need more flexibility in negotiating with the current especially tough market environment as it is, in addition to having to deal with future impractical or feckless political/economic
I understand that Benjamin Franklin started trading stocks in the early days of the republic. Investing in other people's ideas, products, innovations, designs is an essential freedom - though risky it might be - for citizens of this land. Do not meddle with it, thinking we need protection from risk. This tendency to regulate and socially engineer everything will collapse-in on itself and
If I want to risk money that I work hard for on any investment that is my choice. If it goes to 0 that's on me. How about looking into Congress and their "investments'' I do not support this and would rather invest in nothing.

Do something useful like regulating corruption in businesses. Do not take my rights away because you were given the idea by a nice dinner with some lobbyists.
We as Americans has the right in invest in stocks and bonds of our choice, not regulators. Why should we have to pass a test to invest, we can do our own research and decide if it is worth the risk to invest our money. Many of us have been in the market for decades, it is not up to you what bonds or businesses we support.
Please do not take any current options for maximum flexibility in the free market trading of US securities. The market is already over manipulated by government regulations and the enforcement agencies, including the Federal Reserve. If you are looking for a more open and fair market, start by taking away the right to invest in individual stocks from the US House of Representatives and the Senate
I believe as an experienced investor that I should be able to use leveraged funds to enhance returns on my portfolio or in the case of inverse funds to hedge and protect on the downside for my portfolio. If not allowed to choose my only option would be to open a margin account and use leverage open myself to possibility of margin calls or to potentially short a stock that has unlimited risk.
The idea of the simpletons at the SEC deciding what investors can and can't do with their money is appalling to me. In a world where stock manipulation is rampant, perhaps there are other things you could do rather than assume that the public is too stupid to understand the risks involved with their investment decisions. Even if that were true, it should not be within the scope of the SEC to
