Leveraged ETFs have given retail investors access to strategies once only accessible to ultra high net worth families and institutional investors, all at a very reasonable cost.
Investors should understand the risks they are taking, but this is no different from any other risky asset.
I believe it is very important for investors to be able to invest in products that move in the opposite direction of the market in times of bear markets.

Hello, Leveraged investments are an important part of my overall investment strategy. I do not need regulators deciding for me what public investments I should be making. I am FULLY aware of the risks involved in these kinds of investments, and they are used thoughtfully in my portfolio management. Please, leave this system alone.

To whom it may concern,
I do not support additional regulations in regards to investing in the Proshares Trust and other similar funds. Government overreach is becoming more of problem in the United States. Let investors do their own research and allow them to assume their own risks. Big Brother is not required.
Often with good intentions, restrictions like this do more harm than good. Adding layers of uncertainty, complexity and bureaucracy increases costs to all investors. As long as an explanation of an investment's methodology and risks are made before purchase, any one should be able to determine suitability for themselves.
I would lose everything and just about anything I have invested in for quite some time and I know others that would be devastated just based on the years they have on even my investments in leverage and inverse trading I here by petition against on this regulation the risk can be viewed as plenty of regulation
These products are not so complicated that most investors would not understand their risks. Limiting access to these products would hurt the average retail investor. By further limiting access to a market that institutional investors have access to. This would put them at a greater disadvantage that already exists to the retail investor.
Comments.I am not in favor of proposed limits that may restrict my access to L&I Funds or to disqualify me from trading L&I Funds or other complex products.
I have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of L&I Funds, and that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they should be monitored regularly.
