Comment on SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15: I am an experienced investor and utilize leveraged tools to hedge core holdings in an investing environment formerly driven by financial performance, now heavily influenced by central bank money printing and interest rate intervention. By hedging, I fully expect to both gain and lose money in my portfolio and I fully assume that risk. The proposal to limit investment options illustrates the US government's intent to drive predictability of financial market performance by limiting where money can be allocated. Extrapolating this notion, if investors were limited to one financial instrument, the success of that instrument would be essentially ensured. I prefer free market economics and do not support this proposal to limit financial investment tools. Regards, JOSEPH EISENMAN
