I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. Investment decisions should be in the individual investor's control. Unique, special processes like passing a test for leveraged or inverse funds is unnecessary. These types of investments are important strategies that should be up to individual investors choices without special procedures.
I have been investing for over 50 years and I know what I am doing. Furthermore, I advise several friends and family members on their investments, I understand the risks and the importance of inverse and leveraged holdings. I don't need anyone to tell me what I can and cannot do with my investment funds. I'm hoping to preserve what's left of American freedom for my
Please do not carry out your proposed regulations on these funds. They are useful tool for small investors to have access to the markets in the same ways that large banks have investments available to them!

I often use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my investments at a cheaper cost/risk than using options. They have been an important part of my portfolio when the markets are facing volatility and have allowed me to not divest from other securities through market uncertainty. I am well aware of the risk involved and how they function. I do not need protection from myself and my investment
I appose any regulation of hindering the.trading of leveraged and inverse funds.
I oppose restrictions to my RIGHT TO INVEST.
As a small personal investor, having free access to all investment options is important to me! Things like this should not be limited to the large investment firms. That just serves to further divide investors, keeping small investors down, and allowing large firms to have unfair advantages
I disagree with the notion that only high net worth investors should be qualified for leveraged ETF products. While you are seemingly attempting to protect unsophisticated investors from having to deal with losses, you are simultaneously broadly removing investors with a higher risk profile whom understand the risks, from participating. Discrimination masked as protection in other words.
