Please do not further regulate investments in leveraged ETF's as I find these to be useful investments on a periodic, short term basis. Thank you,

Government, including you, [REDACTED] more things than you correct. Get off our backs. If we lose money, it's on us. Stop with the regulation [REDACTED] because you will end up causing more harm than help.
I totally oppose regulations (restrictions) to my right to invest. It is my ability and education and experienced that guides me in my investment decision. If I make or lose money it is on me. My fault or my credit. That is the American way. I do not want to see regulators controlling my investments. For what purpose? To protect me? In America risk is rewarded and punished. That is the essence of a free country. I totally object and oppose regulations and restrictions as to what I can invest in.
I have been investor in leveraged index funds and find them very useful assets. It's necessary for having understanding of basics. it's not a gambling alternative and overregulation's will be hurtful.
DO NOT CHANGE present rules/regulations regarding leveraged and/or inverse funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (This notice is being supplied by me May 3, 2022.)
I strongly disagree with any restrictions on any investment options available to me. My investment evolutionary tract should not be reduced by you just because there are those who have invested poorly or may do so in the future. I do not need further protections from myself nor do I need you to put more obstacles in my way. I already have to consent to my knowledge of inverse investment options before I can purchase them. I understand the reason for that safeguard, but that is as far as I think it should go.
Let us make our own decisions what to do with our money. We are could research and make educated investment choices without regulator looking over our shoulder. Financial firms already has number of disclosures for every type of the investments...
Hello FINRA,
I oppose the proposed restrictions on my rights to invest. While I appreciate your concern for the safety of my investments, I am fully aware of the risks involved when purchasing leveraged or inverse funds.
Leverage is a useful financial tool used by almost every financial institute in America, and I don't see any reason why I should be barred from using it.
I'd like to share my comments concerning your contemplation of requiring certain restrictions, limitations and/or abolition of certain inverse, levered investment products. I have been using both of these types of products for years and feel they are important tools that individuals, like myself, can utilize to manage our financial assets in the stock markets. Both these tools, when properly used like hedges, can lessen volatility in my asset's price performance, and protect from extreme selloffs like March 2020.
I am an investor that should be able to invest in products of my choosing. I review the products, understand the risks and can make my own decisions. Please do not restrict access to inverse funds or leveraged products. These are a effective tools to mange risk and hedge equities exposure. The public should have access to these tools.
