Testimony Before Employee Benefits Security Administration Advisory Council on Employee Welfare and Pension Benefit Plans
As a smaller investor (net worth <$1,000,000), I find that there is great value in being able to trade with a leveraged product. By using a leveraged product that does not require me to use personal margin, I can keep myself debt free, use a leveraged product, obtain the benefit of either rising or falling markets, and hedge long or short.

SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 is unnecessary and prohibitive. Levered ETF's are a great way to invest and people who use them know the risks and rewards.

The SEC should not have the right to tell me what investments are or are
Regardless of what (if any) action is taken on this notice, the decision to invest must be with the investor.
