I do not agree with limiting these leveraged investments the prospectuses information fully appraise the risk I have owned them for 10 years and they are the most profitable investments I have had by far so I do not believe that regulating them is necessary
I am opposed to legislation that would restrict my ability to invest in those ETFs and funds which I want. People should be made aware of the risks, but then allowed to invest in whatever they want. These restrictions are unfair to average middle-class investors.
I believe that I as am investor shouldnt be stop me from investing in leveraged ETFs. In regard to risk these ETFs are not any different than some risky stocks that are presently traded. Leave me my liberty to invest freely.
Leveraged ETF products are well diversified instruments that offer access to leverage at a low cost with no margin account (hence no risk of liquidation) to retail investor.
These products must remain legal.

I am fully aware of how these funds operate and the risk involved. It is MY RIGHT to invest as I see fit. I do not need the government to tell me what I can and cannot do. Thank you. Dr Jonathan Golab
Please continue to allow individual investors to make their own investment choices, such as investing in inverse and/or leveraged investments.
These types of investments allow us individual investors properly manage risk and handle our market outlook.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I am capable of understanding leveraged funds and their risks. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies.
Therefore, I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I believe the risk of loosing capital is higher with options over leveraged index products. Therefore, I believe restriction should be similar to options. Further margin requirements should be substantially higher for leverage products based on the amount of leverage.
I do not think it is right for regulators to restrict individual investors opportunities to invest in leveraged or inverse products that have been loved by investors for a long time. Anyone can adjust the size of the investment to manage risk. Too paternalistic.
Investor's should be free to do there own research and investing in the funds of their choice. Investor's take their own risks for both losses and gains and should be free to continue to do so in all of the current funds, etf's and inverse funds.
