This regulation is classist and assumes anyone not in possession of wealth is too stupid to understand these investments. Limiting specific investments to only high net worth individuals will only exacerbate the wealth inequality in our country and is the antithesis of what America stands for. Anyone can learn to understand all of these investments and should be able to determine for themselves
Comments: Leveraged ETFs and inversely leveraged ETFs are not easily obtainable by novice and beginner investors. I request that Federal intervention not be invoked. Its my experience that investors have to submit special acknowledgement of the risk prior to be able to trade Leveraged/Inversely leveraged ETFs. "All" websearches already discourage their use. Again I personally
My experience with Leverage funds has only been positive. It's the only investment vehicle out there that you can buy a sector and make a substantial gain. Mutual funds can't do that. I am fully capable of understanding the risks. We need less regulations and more freedoms on how to invest our money. Thank you for listening.
I believe as an investor, I have the right to buy leveraged and inverse funds as I have been doing so. It is inequitable for regulations to be made based on income and privilege of the individual. As it is my decision to invest in leveraged funds, I am fully capable of understanding the risks that come with investing in the funds. Investing in leveraged and inverse funds contribute to my
I am a long time investor. I make my own investment decisions and read materials provided before I make an investment. I do not want to be blocked from from complex investments and I oppose any limitations.

I am Retired, and manage my IRA myself. I listen carefully to a variety of Investors using TV and Internet sources. I frequently utilize ProShare Leveraged and Inverse Funds in this endeavor. I am fully-aware of the Risks of using these vehicles Long Term. I use them for Short Term Opportunities. I would like to use these Funds well into my Future Retirement Years.
Its very unfair to keep ppl from being able to invest as they see fit. They dont need to be protected. We do our own research. We have a brain. We know what we are getting in to. Its up to us to decide what we want to invest OUR money in and what risk we prefer to take.
1. You not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. 2. You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities. Explain that you are capable of understanding your investments and their risks
LEVERAGED ETFs AND INVERSE FUNDS ARE ONE OF THE FEW WAYS AN INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR CAN OUTPERFORM THE MARKET (WITH RISKS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. SOME HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE FOR A DECADE OR SO. YOU ALLOW INDIVESTOR TO USE LEVERAGED INVESTMENTS WITH OPTIONS USING "PUTS" AND "CALL" OPTIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES. WHYNOT TRY TO RESTRICT THEM? AND WHY NOW??
Greetings, In general, less regulation is the best practice. Restricting our investment options is not what want or need. For decades, investors have been able to make intelligent decisions on their own regarding these investment vehicles. The key is understanding the risk associated with every investment. Consequently, the heavy hand of government is not required or needed. Thanks for allowing
