To price Americans out of investing instruments or to impose any measures that keep retail investors from accessing investment instruments is just about as un-American as it gets. Many investors, myself included, find leveraged and inverse ETFs as unique opportunities to obtain margin without needing a margin-enabled account or without taking on direct debt to invest in the stock market.

- I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
- I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these
To Whom It May Concern:
I oppose adding undo burden on individual investors in relation to inverse and leveraged funds. Current disclosures are quite specific about the risks and intended timeframe of such investments -- almost forbiddingly so. As an individual investor, I have diverged from such guidance, but I feel sufficiently warned.
Individual investors will always make bad decisions. More
I am writing to express my opposition to regulations that would hinder my investment in public securities, such as leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds have been important to my investment strategy in the past as both a protective hedge and for periodically seeking enhanced returns. I have educated myself on the risks involved with said securities. I know how to use them.
I oppose the proposed regulations to limit access to leveraged and inverse funds.

Why is it that the government thinks they know what's best for me and I don't. In a country that is rapidly losing the basic freedoms promised to us, now you want to take away my financial freedoms. Inverse funds help me protect capital during periods of turmoil, high inflation, geopolitical risks, and government overspending, to name a few. Leveraged funds allow me to hedge my
I have already been aware of the disclosures and risks involved with leverage etfs. I have been trading for several years. It is obvious that you people do not work for the American people and instead work for your cronies. Keep making america corrupt is your goal. I can make my own decisions and if I lose money, so be it thats on me. With GME, it is obvious your protection isnt meant to help the
Hello, I am writing to voice my objection to proposed legislation which seeks to restrict our right to invest in inverse and leveraged funds.
These types of investments are a very important part of our investment strategy and help in reducing overall portfolio risk, when used appropriately, like most other investment classes, including options.
They are simple and easy to understand asset
I am a retail investor with approximately $1M in investments, spread over several accounts. I routinely trade leveraged and inverse ETFs as a small portion of my overall investment as part of my overall risk management strategy. Though these ETFs are a small percentage of my total assets, they sometimes form a larger percentage of an individual account, as I concentrate all these trades in a
Dear Sirs,
I'm concerned about the proposal of "Regulatory Notice 22-08". Indeed, it might be a must for regulators to take certain action on new financial products, but I don't think this restriction can solve the problem. The reason is listed below:
1.What serves as complex product is too ambiguous, that means, investors can’t figure out what investment tools
