I use inverse etfs to hedge my portfolio. Similar to long only etfs, it allows short position across a broader spectrum than a single stock short position. In my circumstance, understanding and managing the risks of utilizing an inverse etf are a much better way to manage downside risk than the complexity of shorting individual stocks.

I oppose restriction to my right to invest!!

I absolutely think that this proposal to regulate or eliminate the ability of investors like me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds will hurt me and many others. These funds are NOT more risky than buying many individual stocks. The choice to invest in these funds should be made by investors not a government agency.

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. That is what is the seed of whats the erosion of our country is the continued inflection on government entities trying to control the American people! You need to cease and decease from this intrusion of my rights!

Hi, Please leave the current platforms intact. Many investors have adjusted their portfolios to trade and invest in this setup. Changing this will cause major harm to investors. Obviously there is a lack of transparency when leverage products were allowed to manipulate the markets but now it is a mature market and public is very well aware of these products. Please do not change anything but ensure small investors are protected from large computer based systems and trading field is equal to all Navdeep

This proposed regulating will hinder my ability to position myself with the insurance/ hedge to my positions that I currently enjoy AND CHOOSE for my own money and investing methods. This method of investing is my chosen method. These types of funds allow a form of protection to my account by markets moving. I shouldn't have to go through some special process, get permission,etc. I understand the risks of being in them and I enjoy how they protect me from broader market risks.

I object to any restrictions to what I may want to invest in. If an investor does not fully understand what they are investing in then it's up to them to educate themselves. I use leveraged, inverse funds & options all the time and do not want them to be regulated.

I don't want regulations on these products. I think everyone should be able to trade these ETF products.

We should be able to choose the public investments that are right for us and our family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I'd been trading the stock market for more than 20 years, I am totally understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, they help me protect my investments or seek enhanced returns and I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

I am strictly opposed to any regulations that limit the fair market and/or an individual's tool box of investment options. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. Those types of funds allow me to protect / hedge my investments. I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio, but without them i would have no way to protect my investment funds from the massive drawdowns that occur during risky times.
