IT APPEARS AGAIN OUR ELECTED GOVERNMENT ARE TRYING TO STOP WE THE AMERICAN CITIZEN'S FROM HAVING OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO INVEST INTO SOMETHING THAT WE CAN EARN FROM THAT WILL ENHANCE OUR LEGAL RIGHTS GIVEN TO EACH OF US BY OUR CONSTITUTION OF THESE UNITED STATES OS AMERICA AS THEY ARE SEAKING TO STOP ANY OF US FROM HAVING ANY POWER BROUGHT TO AS BECAUSE OF WEALTH WE JUST MAY EARN FROM INVESTMENTS , BUT THEY FEEL IT IS RIGHT FOR THEM TO CONTROL THE SAME ACT FOR THEMSELVES.

Restricting people from freely purchasing the investments of their choice is not needed and is government overreach. Regulators dont know how knowledgeable we are and forcing broker-dealers to give us permission makes it less likely that we can invest the way we see fit. Leveraged and inverse funds are appropriate. Dont restrict us and take away our right to invest in the matter we see fit. Get out of my wallet

I have been trading leveraged ETFs both long and inverse since 2008. I also read prospectus, SEC filings, etc, and understand the risks involved. I have not had any major losses due to leveraged ETFs, inverse or otherwise and pay close attention to any warnings my brokers provide on a regular basis about the risks involved.

The changes you are proposing are unfounded and are attempting to fix a problem that does not exist. Furthermore these proposed changes are tantamount to economic class warfare.

Do not implement these changes.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and your family.Public investments should be available to all of the public,not just the privileged.

I have been trading over 15 years and know what's best for me.

Everyone deserves the right to invest.

I'm strongly opposed to any restrictions on leveraged/inverse funds. I feel I should be able to invest in these funds without passing a test, special approvals, or having "high net worth".
Every investor is able to decide for themselves and understand the risks of leveraged/inverse funds. Regulators should not be a part of that decision and should stay out of the decision process.

I use Leverage funds cautiously to protect my investment. The proposed ban of individual investors from leverage funds makes hedge funds more powerful and people like me tend to lose much more. It got to be equal opportunity investment.

One thing to concern is that most investors invest on funds that already know their characteristics an so on, limiting the buy from this types of etfs is absurd and trying to cancel it is something that only a Buffon could do, also one consideration is that this types of restrictions will lead to further ones meaning that only a small porcentage of people on the future will not be able to handle it

This is very unfair. I should continue to have the freedom to invest in what and when I want without any third party intervention. I made my investment decisions with full responsibility. There are tools and resources available for investing. Each person has their own responsibility to educate themselves before they make an investment decision. Each platform that I invest through provides handbooks and prospectus to makesure as an investor we are educated. This literally goes angainst what a free market trade should be.

Please don't do this.
