My main focus is on both leveraged and non-levered index ETF's for the DOW, Nasdaq and S&amp;P, both long and inverse. I feel more comfortable investing in the market as a whole as opposed to individual stocks. They also allow me to protect my IRA on downturns as I am not allowed to short individual stocks and would find that far riskier. Please reconsider your proposed changes.
It is very important that every American has the right to invest in what ever investment strategy they want and changing that leads to a total government take over on our rights as Americans to do with what we see fit to do with our money. This law doesnt serve the free world but it serves the government and its special interests and this leads to a socialist government and has no right in

I am 74 years old and have the majority of my assets under mgt. with two different styled advisors. I have invested in Pro Shares Short S &amp; P 500 ETF for two small accounts (which I oversee) in a very limited and disciplined approach to offset the economic problems caused by the current administration in Washington.

It works great the way it is, and it allows people
I oppose proposed restrictions to inverse and leveraged ETFS. The reason for my opposition is that they are useful tools for hedging and as well for magnified short term gains. If there is a particular sector, underlying commodity, or index that I want exposure to, these products help me meet my objectives and help me formulate strategies to meet the objectives i have laid out for myself. I
To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to express my dismay at the consideration of this proposal. Attempting to restrict the ability of the average American to access specific investment classes is overly-restrictive and represents a fundamental distrust of the intelligence of the people. Those that are willing to pursue an opportunity should only be limited by their own abilities, and
I use funds like FAZ, SDS, and SQQQ as portfolio insurance to mitigate the wild market gyrations we have witnessed in 2008/2009, 2020, and even right now(?). Using funds like these I can achieve strong upsides in a down market while my losses are limited to what I have invested. Instead, regulate the program selling, the short selling, the futures market where I could lose far more than my
