It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected
I believe that these regulations do less to protect the "safety" of the average consumer then they do provide a considerable advantage in the markets for high net worth persons who have the resources to replicate these investments with their private money managers. If you want more equitable and safe markets then merely provide a education warning when trading these securities.
Restricting access to any publicly traded securities, leveraged and inverse included, should never occur in the USA under any circumstances. It's important to keep public markets truly public and regulation that restricts public access is not a part of the core principles of our democracy or a capitalistic society. Take that [REDACTED] to Venezuela or Cuba!
You Regulators should not have the ability to restrict my investment strategies. Inverse etfs are the only way I can make money for my retirement when the market is down. You already restrict the amount of day trades I can make because I dont have enough money. Stay out of our investments!
As an investor we understand risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not restrict investors(esp retail) and make investing in stock market tougher. This regulations if brought in will impact investors/traders who are already in trading and they might incur huge loss in terms of capital depreciation by scaring away exiting and new investments.
There are no restrictions needed, or wanted on investment trading. As an investor, I am capable of making my own investment decisions and neither need, or want an organization making decisions for me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important in my investment strategies. Please reconsider any action taken or proposed that would impede my investment decisions.

Greetings, Without the ability to trade leveraged/geared funds many main street investors will fall short of a viable savings to retire securely. Given the shortcomings of our elected officials to address fair and equitable Social Security reform it is up to us and the current wide range of investment options to secure our own future.
I strongly oppose the regulation on the trading of leveraged funds. It is an essential part of my investment strategy to manage risk and make profit even during market downturn.
Regulator should allow all investors to utilize all available necessary tools to protect their investments instead of only allowing the privileged few to use them.
Please do not regulate how, and in what I may trade, invest, speculate, etc. I do NOT need BIG Brother telling me what I can or cannot do. There are already too many regulations interfering with my life. Find something else, and someone else, to hassle.
Sincerely,
Jack Schannep
