Dear SEC Officer:
Leveraged funds are important to me, and they allow me to seek enhanced returns and help protect my investment portfolio.

Not only do
Americans should be free to research and utilize all manner of publicly traded securities in their investment portfolios. These should not be managed or limited by regulators. I utilize leveraged index-based securities regularly as a core element of my investing strategy.
