Every investor should have the right to purchase whatever they want. Risk is solely the responsibility of the investor and not a regulatory body in a democratic and capitalistic society. Further action such as these are further proof that the US financial system is rigged in favor for the elite and top 1%.
As an individual investor, I very much value the use of inverse and leveraged ETFs to assist me in meeting my financial goals. I ask that you do not limit in any way a retail investors ability to utilize these products. Thank you.
I personally have held series 3,4,7,24,55,63,66 licenses in the past and well aware of how leveraged financial instruments work!!!!
If the instrument is publicly traded the public should be able to take positions in it....quit trying to manipulate how the market works

I oppose to the regulation because I believe I have the right to choose any public investments as I want to invest in. Only allowing financial institutions to invest in leveraged investments is unfair to the public because it gives them the privilege to invest in potentially higher-return ETFs.
It's bad enough that financial markets are stacked against the little guy. Restricting market tradable products like these just continues to tilt the playing field towards Wall Street. Do not restrict us from leveraged / inverse funds!
All financial investments come with risks. Yes, some people will gamble their money away, but protecting people from themselves is not the appropriate role of this regulatory body. This is not an issue of protecting retail investors from fraud. The risks are well known and disclosed.
Please do not limit the ability of investors to participate in their own financial and investment decisions. It is always clear that investment carries risk, and leveraged and inverse funds are no different. I strongly oppose any limitation on investors ability to determine their own investment plan.
