I ask our public bodies responsible for creating and updating our financial regulations to oppose these changes. I am a retail investor and I use these products as a part of my portfolio. I want to have the same investment options as more wealthy and institutional investors. The brokers make clear the risks. Thank you for attempting to control risk and foster responsible regulations, but these changes are overbearing to small investors.

This is an important investment strategy and regulating it away will limit ones ability of upward mobility and learning new investment strategies. I have been investing for 10 years and I will be incredibly frustrated to be denied this opportunity to play the market without having to enable options on my brokerage account which I do not want to be able to do. Furthermore, I trust the fund manager more than myself to make those plays.

Please stop trying to take what we worked our butts off far to have a have way good living in our retirement years. I was hoping to do some traveling and see more of our country, but with what our government has done that can not happen! I have been priced out of any enjoyment in my retirement. For God sake leave our money alone.

I use leveraged funds as a strategic portion of my investments. Overall, it makes up a very small part of my net worth. Please do not change the rules on me. This does not protect people like me.

Leave the people ALONE PERIOD! YOU TAX US ENOUGH!

This is the United States of America, and I should be able to buy or sell any fund or stock that I want to without outside interference.

Investors should be allowed to invest as they see fit without regulatory intervention. I use derivatives as a way to hedge my investments and do not want to be restricted. There are already rules in place to protect inexperienced investors and we do not need more regulations. I am opposed to any additional regulations.

I would like to be continued to invest in Proshare-leveraged inverse fund.

I would like to have the ABILITY TO continue to BUY LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS. If this proposal is passes, it will affect the value of my SPXL and TQQQ ETFs. That is very unfair for the investors. Please stop it! Thank you!

This SEC proposed rule is wholly unnecessary, it does nothing but restrict retail traders with lower net worths from making the same fair trades as those with higher net worths. A rule that seeks to restrict access to investment vehicles using net worth is in fact not a rule. It is a barrier, not unlike a fee, that the middle class must struggle to obtain before theyre allowed to engage by the regulators and brokers.
