I believe investors should be able to make their own decisions based on the opportunity to invest in innovative technology. Many investors dont have the millions or billions of dollars to invest in start ups or big private equity deals like all the multi billionaires, VCs andPE firms do and by limiting the average retail investor to only buy proven mutual funds that are a basket of stocks you
To Whom it May Concern:
Leveraged investments have been a critical PORTION of my overall portfolio and long term strategy for years. While not the smoothest of rides it is a leveraged investment strategy based on the SP500 and US Treasuries and moves correspondingly with market movements of what I think one would agree are very sound investments. To end this option by a well-intended, but mis-

I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments such as leveraged and inverse funds since these types of investments are important to my investment strategies. Leveraged and inverse funds help me grow my retirement account faster and to hedge against inflation and a bear market. Leveraged and inverse funds should be available to all the public not just the privileged.
To Whom it may concern: I am 54 years old and have been an active investor since 1997. During that time I have utilized many different investment vehicles to achieve my investing goals including stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, etfs, leveraged etfs, and even inverse etfs. It was with great disappointment to learn that federal regulators are considering restricting individual investors
To Whom it May Concern,
I disagree strongly with the proposal to restrict trading of leveraged and inverse ETFs. Requiring minimum income levels or minimum assets as a requirement of trading these investment vehicles is once again telling the average American that one must already be wealthy in order to be allowed to pursue wealth. Furthermore, it will do so precisely at a time when the
I am retired and have been managing my own portfolio for many years. Because of the market volatility I use leveraged funds (specifically SPXU, UVXY, and SQQQ) as a hedging strategy for my entire portfolio. I do not understand why the government should regulate what public investments people should be purchasing.
Any investment is risky and even stocks (e.g. TDOC) can lose 50-80% of their value
This is absolutely crazy.
Institutional investors and others have long had access to and the ability to invest in equities that were never available to the public, including pre-IPO, private placements, and other vehicles to either hedge their investments or generate returns they would otherwise not see.
Blanket limitations based on vague wording are not only wrong but another means of
Regulating what assets a person can buy is not capitalism. The regulators aka central planners are intentionally or unintentionally turning the stock market into a place where only the wealthy can invest and expect great returns. Instead of regulating the 100's of millions of individual investors your energy would be better used regulating the trades of our congress men and women who
