I am aware of the risks of investment in Proshares LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS, and I am willing to take the risk. I believe the decision should be left to the discretion of the investor, not the regulators. Public investments should be available to all public , not to a small group of privileged people.
I oppose restrictions to my right to investing, including restricting the buying of inverse funds. I am a small independent investor for my own retirement portfolio, and being able to hedge against market volatility is critical. Please don't take away the rights of small, individual investors.

Do not make this mistake.
The general public has the right to invest as they please without further burdens. The general public is already at a distinct disadvantage versus institutional investors and this will only further the disadvantage for the general public. You can certainly warn the public as is done with cigarettes but what is being proposed is unconstitutional.
totally not needed. Public investments are public..Period! If I want to invest, it is My Responsibility to understand what I am doing. I am an active user of leveraged and inverse funds for hedging as well as another form of using risk. I also use currency, fixed income products and options. I have lost money as well as made money using these products. Don't impede my ability to use various
