Dear Sirs/Madams, It's come to my attention that you are considering regulating so-called complex or leveraged ETFs. As an active small investor, I implore you not to do so. I use these ETFs to hedge risk in the marketplace, and this gives me confidence in my investments, knowing that I can sustain market shocks, as well as to maintain reasonable rates of return.

I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
