I am an individual investor with approximately 40 years of investment experience. From time to time, based on market conditions, I have found it prudent to invest in leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds (ETFs). Now is such a time, and I currently have a small investment in such a fund. I want to be able to continue to make such investments as I see fit, based on my own knowledge and
It is imperatively important that investors can choose the public investments they want to invest in. These investments should be available to all public investors, not just the privileged ones. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and have been investing for many years. I do not need your regulations imposed on me. My trading investment activities are my
The current SEC regulation requiring no more than 3x exposure for your investment is adequate. The etf I use is tqqq, there is no significant chance of a diversified etf going to zero. These etfs are valuable because they allow investors to increase exposure without the high amount of skill needed to manage options. The proposed change is bad for these investors, and it will drive investors out
I understand the risks involved in leveraged investments and I am fully capable of using such instruments in my portfolio to increase the diversity and return of my accounts. All investments carry risks and I have used leveraged funds for over ten years. I should not be required to take any tests or special processes as I feel comfortable and accomplished that my experience and portfolio
Leveraged etfs give retail investors access to the same kind of lending rates that institutions have. I understand that there is a concern that retail investors will overexpose them deserve. However, a better approach would be increasing the amount of disclosures that retail needs to make before trading leveraged etfs, not banning and liquidating leveraged etfs. Moreover, many retail investors
I believe all individuals willing to invest in publicly traded assets should have complete freedom to invest in whatever investment they deem appropriate for themselves. Especially in a day and age when there is already so much public disclosure and free financial education, one should be able to invest in any public asset he or she believes fits them and their risk profile. These investments
This is my right to trade and invest the leveraged investment, this kind of investments should be available to all public not just the privileged.
It's unnecessary to go through any special process a test before I can invest in public securities like those leveraged funds. I'm really aware of the how the leveraged and inverse funds works and their risk.

Im a doctor that is also an accountant. I dont need the SEC or FINRA looking out for me. I invest small amounts on a short term basis in leveraged funds. I understand that all the money I invest can be lost. If people dont understand this then that is on them. Thats why they have a 401k and not their own self directed IRA or brokerage account. Im not against having to pass a small test or
I am deeply concerned with proposed increase regulation and oversight of leveraged and inverse funds. I have spent years reviewing and learning about leveraged funds, watched their performance and understand their risks. With careful measures, I have had success using them to increase my portfolio considering in excess of the market (eg SPY). And have steps to cover losses in bear markets. To
This is to respectfully request that you DO NOT apply blanket and arbitrary rules that restricts investors access to publicly listed and traded securities. All investing incurs risk. Rules such as these could actually enhance liability as it implies other investments are "safe". Should investors assume "ZOOM" was a "safe, non-leveraged investment?
