I believe this proposed regulation is unnecessary and an overreach. I fully understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't believe I should have to take any "tests" to prove that I understand what I am doing. I use them as part of my overall investment strategy to manage my risks and/or enhance my returns. These types of investments are only a
I am an individual trader that uses leveraged and inverse funds to help finance my retirement. I have used these funds since I retired some 4-1/2 years ago. I understand the risks of these funds as it is stated directly on the trading platform that I use, TD Ameritrade. I do not believe that over-regulating these funds that assist individual traders in building wealth to be the correct approach
I have been using leveraged and inverse funds as a primary part of my trading strategy for 4 years now. The instruments do present risk to traders but investing is a risky endeavor, the risk of the products are documented, and these are adults choosing to trade using the instruments. Taking the options away, limits options for investors to manage their own risk/reward level. Much of the market is
Please do not restrict my ability to invest in the funds of my choice.

I would like to freely invest in any funds I would like. if the fund activities are legal then everyone should have the right to choose what to invest. When we talk about risk, anything has risk.. Any stock can go to $0, too. I bought TQQQ and I like it. They invest in it for me. I just buy it and see my fund growing each day. Someday it goes down, too but that is ok. It will go back up.
I used leveraged funds as a very small part of my investment portfolio. I understand the risk associated with them, have talked with financial advisors and explored the risk on my own and use it as part of a diversified approach. I do not need government or regulatory oversite to make a financial decision. Public options should be available to the public, not just those who a select group can
I would like to oppose this rule. In my opinion, investors who are investing in these complex products know the risks already. Also brokerage companies let us informed of the risks. Whenever i try to buy a leverage fund, my broker shows warnings at multiple places in big bold red letters during the transaction. I suspect if someone "accidentally" bought these leveraged funds. I
It is my understanding that you are considering restrictions to leveraged and/or inverse investments... I sincerely disagree with this proposed policy. As a retired Naval Officer (pilot) with 2 Engineering degrees and an MBA -- I think I'm capable of evaluating risks within my investment portfolio. Moreover, all investment involves risk and every investor knows it and Public investments
While I agree there is increased risk to leveraged ETF's, I do not think they should be removed for investment by regulators. ETf's are a great way to make money in bear markets, and on certain sectors of the financial markets. I do believe in educating investors and warning them as much as possible about the increased risks and time decay of ETFs. Also any financial institution
I should be able to invest based on what I am able to invest and where I choose to invest it. There is no need for a special process for this. I can make my own risk assessment based on my earnings etc. Many of the funds I use as a hedge against a market crash in order to protect my earnings. It makes no sense to remove these types of investments. When used within your individual risk profile
