Greetings. It is my right to invest my money how I choose. I am a young person with savings that are currently withering away due to inflation. I cant afford a house either. My only option is to invest, and that is by the design of the US governments programs that cause inflation and disincentivize saving cash. So, some of my money is invested in leveraged funds, and I am doing quite well at
I am an educator and will be effected tremendously if I am blocked from using triple leveraged indexes. I am a voter and perfectly capable of understanding the implications and risks that these investment tools entail. The government should not have the power over my financial investment decision making. This tool is an easy and equitable way for those of us who are not Wall Street connected to
Please protect my interest in leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds do a great deal of good in balancing a portfolio. I hope that future regulation widens access to securities, and does not prohibit access based on income, or net worth.

Do not interfere with my legal right to do commerce. Anyone of legal age should have the legal right to trade any public equity product. Loosing and winning is part of investing AND LIFE ! Leave these free will
Individuals not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
Allowing the average joe to purchase leveraged instruments is life changing. To take away the ability for anyone to take advantage of leverage would be devastating. Please reconsider your decision
This legislation is far too arbitrary and vaguely written to be enacted. It opens the door to unlimited regulatory restraint that invites the abuse of governmental power. It should be rejected. Please vote NO.
This proposed action is unnecessary and seeks to restrict individual choice and investment vehicles for individual investors. These investments are an important part of my investment strategy and when used wisely can be leveraged to minimize loss during market downturns without having to liquidate long-term holdings.
