Individual investors have been excluded from the advantages of large trading firms and lawmakers. Taking away individual investor RIGHTS to invest in leveraged & Inverse funds is just another ball & chain on individuals in their strides towards financial independence from Government. If an individual had invested in a triple leveraged S&P index fund for the last 10 years,

Dear Regulators:
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation that would limit or eliminate access to leveraged and inverse investment instruments.
These tools are a critical piece to actively managing a portfolio, and provide unique alternatives to individual stocks, passive ETF's and mutual funds.
Given the many events in the last several years that have dramatically affected the
I think we, as investors, should be able to choose the public investments. That is the right for myself and my family. Public investments should be made available to all the public, not just the selected classes (people with high net worth etc.). We understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse funds. They are important to my investment strategies, which took me over 10 years to
To Whom It May Concern:
Over the last couple of years, I have been trying to manage my retirement investments much more actively. It's very important to hedge some of my positions, particularly in the current economic environment. An important part of my strategy is to be able to invest in inverse ETFs, as I am unable to short individual stocks in my retirement accounts. I do not think
Do not implement this regulation. The federal government never properly evaluates unintended consequences. Stop treating the general population as though they cannot read and understand. Let me invest the way I want to invest. I have been trying to get treasury bonds out of the treasury for eight weeks and cannot even get through on a phone. The federal government is beyond incompetent. What
I have used leveraged and inverse ETFs regularly and profitably during the market correction of the last 6 months. If not for the profit that I have made by using these ETFs as a very effective hedging tool, the value of my stock portfolio would have plummeted by more than 30%. But with the use of these leveraged and/or inverse ETSs as hedges, the overall value of my portfolio has gone up, not
Hello, Regulators,
Nobody likes you. Many (fully) understand what you failingly attempt to do. Billionaires get full access to an American Dream, freedom to make money and upward mobility (they already have it.), while you (failingly) try to disenfranchise regular people those who can use it most. Free, and open markets mean free for all: Try focusing on frauds as stocks, frauds, Chinese A.D.R.
I believe investors should be able to choose what investments that they want to invest in. I used these investments as a hedge for my portfolio. I do think that the acknowledgement of risk and investment experience should play a role in whether investors can invest in leveraged products, but the approval process should be similar to the process for getting approval to trade stock options. It
Regulators should not restrict my ability to invest in public securities, including leveraged or inverse funds. These types of investments are a valuable addition to my portfolio and provide additional diversification. For example, I have acquired leveraged inverse funds a few months ago (since the downturn of the stock market), in order to protect the upside of previous investments and offset
