I use leveraged funds, specifically TQQQ, as part of my balanced investment strategy. I understand it’s high risk and highly volatile investment. I use this fund along with a group of investors with the Kelley Letter, founded by Jason Kelly. I am in favor of people signing disclosures stating they understand the risk, volatility and how leveraged works. I’m not in favor of people needing to
Individual investors oppose the SEC Proposed Rule:
--It is a form of control by the regulators to impose its judgement on investors about investment vehicles that play a key role in risk mitigation.

I have been a successful investor for about 40 years and have been invested in leveraged index funds for about the past 30. My portfolio value from the 2008 recession to the end of 2021 nearly quintupled. I fully understand the risk of leveraged fund investing and I offset that risk through diversification, i.e., spreading my investments among a variety of in major index and sector index funds.

Do not restrict my personal right to choose which investments I place my capital in. My rights to Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness carry with it the freedom to choose as I see fit and accept the responsibility of the consequences of those choices. Restricting certain investments to the wealthy and connected elite of our country will only exacerbate the income gap. I use these leveraged funds
I believe that restricting access to these investments what hurt far more people than just allowing the risk to be there. I believe the majority of investors understand that funds that offer higher returns come with higher risk. It is already made clear in the prospectuses of every fund. Please let us make our own decisions. Many of us have been in these funds for years and they are an important
Another attempt for those in control to control the masses. No limitation should ever exist as this is often the only way to hedge market risk. I have a 401k that offers NO brokerage access and I contend leaves more market risk without the ability to play various sides with funds like these. They can protect coming market disasters that could be hard to mitigate otherwise; and allow easy
I oppose government restriction on freely made choices to invest any fund or investment type a person wants provided the information regarding the risks of those investment vehicles are publicly available and/or provided at the time of purchase. I understand this might result in less sophisticated investors losing money but this is the risk one takes when one chooses to invest. I dont believe the
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I use these type of funds to appropriately manage my risks verses specific high value and volatile stocks that are subject to adverse news and developments. Especially the NASDAQ stocks that are irrationally priced. I shouldn't have to go through any special process before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged
to whom it may concern. i oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged funds that are available for publics. leveraged funds play critical roles in my investment strategy and i am well aware of the risks in investing/trading in these funds. in fact, risks in buying these funds are too clear so that no tests or measurement of knowldege is required. hopefully FINRA regulators leave theses
