I do not feel that I should be restricted or hampered from investing in these types of funds just because someone (who doesn't even know me) feels I'm not capable of undrestanding the risks. I also feel that I should not have to go through any process that will make it more difficult for me to continue to invest in these types of funds. As such, I strongly oppose restrictions to my
I am very concerned that you are considering placing more restrictions on my ability to invest as I see fit. A perfect example is with the bear market we are now in, without inverse ETFs available, I would have no choice but to sit in cash. The deck is already stacked too much against the small investor. I understand the risks of leverage ETFs, but I have used them, and I consider them a
I oppose restrictions to my rights to invest in public investments. Public investments should be available to retail investors, including leveraged and inverse ETFs/funds.

I oppose restrictions to my ability to invest in leveraged funds. Each investor should have the ability to invest their money as they see fit and take risks they can tolerate.

I spent over 10 yrs in the financial sector. Investing and helping others do so to prepare for the future. Preventing individuals from taking risk with great return potential because they have less money than wealthier investors, will only keep them from becoming wealthier. You will be surpressing people who are working towards fulfilling their pursuit of happiness, as guaranteed by our
I should have the ability to invest in leveraged ETFs. I have done the research and understand the risks involved. I use leveraged ETFs when the market goes down and buy in small increments and sell when the market rises. I have done quite well over the past few years investing using this methodology. I believe the individual investors not regulators should be able to determine to invest
It is absolutely essential that everyone be free to select any and all investments they wish to participate in without restrictions. Investing should never be reserved for just privileged individuals or be subject to special tests or other requirements. It has been widely accepted over the years that there are substantial risks involved with all investments. It is a learning process involving
