During the past year, the Association has taken an active role in attempting to assist members in their obligation to comply with the complex requirements imposed by both the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 ("TEFRA") and the Interest and Dividend Tax
At the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), NASD convened and led a Joint NASD/Industry Breakpoint Task Force, with representatives from, among others, Investment Company Institute ("ICI"), Securities Industry Association ("SIA"), National Security Clearing Corporation ("NSCC"), broker/dealers, mutual funds, and transfer agents, to examine the difficulties that the financial industry experienced delivering breakpoint discounts on Class A mutual fund share sales and to develop recommendations to facilitate the complete and accurate delivery of breakpoint discounts in the future.

I do not agree with limiting these leveraged investments the prospectuses information fully appraise the risk I have owned them for 10 years and they are the most profitable investments I have had by far so I do not believe that regulating them is necessary
Do not take away my right to invest in leveraged ETFS. if you want to protect investors focus on naked short selling, corrupt analysts that publish bogus information, and large brokerages who manipulate stock prices.
Please do not impose new regulations on my portfolio that includes a manageable percentage of leveraged funds such as SSO. Im very capable of using research to make informed decisions for my investments and I appreciate the freedom to do so!
