Retail investors are already severely limited in our investment options both via long only accounts and by a lack of access to alternative investments available to accredited investors. I oppose any and all limitations on my ability to utilize leveraged / inverse funds to meet my investment objectives. These tools are vital in my personal risk management and provide the opportunity for
Respected Regulators, I want to bring your attention to this change. I feel this is not correct for the following reasons: a) I (and my family) should be able to choose the public investments which are right for me as long as I understand the risks and the rewards. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I don't want others to decide what I can
I oppose having restrictions placed on leveraged ETF;s for the following reasons: 1.

To impose restrictions is paternalistic and does not respect the ethical right for individuals to make choices about where and how
To whom it may concern, I am writing to inform you, as an investor that I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I have been using inverse and leveraged funds for at least 15 years, typically as hedges during periods of market decline or high volitality.
