Sirs,
It is not clear what regulations you plan that would limit leveraged/inverse EFT and similar inventments. However, I would like to strongly suggest that anyone with several years experience in stocks/options be allowed to trade them unless their account is in the "savings" category v.s. "investment" category. Restricting experienced individual investors

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I have invested in leveraged funds for years with significant success. I am clearly a small investor and have learned about the importance of knowing when to get out of an investment of any type. If you follow your plan you can limit your losses when the market turns against the investments you have made whether leveraged or not.
To whom it may concern,
Ive been retired for 5 years. Ive also been trading leveraged funds for more than 20 years. Theyve become an important part of my financial plan.

I cant emphasize enough about how strongly I feel about this freedom.
I am 83 yrs. old and live on social security and a 700.00 pension. If I lose the rights to invest in the types of funds then there is no way I can survive the inflation. I an a very small investor and have planned so in can survive but if you eliminate these in verse funds I will probably be on welfare in the near future. These are the only way some of us have to survive. Besides not everyone
Why are regulatory busybodies thinking that I am 3 years old and need to be "protected" from myself?

My trading plan uses leveraged ETFs as a part of reducing the volatility and risk of my entire portfolio.
I insist that no changes be made to rules/regulations
I strongly oppose additional regulations on my freedom to invest in products I find suitable to my financial plans. As products that are offered to to public already have to meet many standards and regulations, adding additional restrictions limit my freedoms of choice. With increasing market volatility, investment choices should be expanded, NOT restricted. Do not approve additional

Personal investments and retirement plans are controlled by the investor and investment retirement planners and critical to the investment success and well being of all. Based on Historical experience, especially lately,
