Any investor should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them. Investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Hello,
I am concerned about the possibility of losing access to inverse and leveraged funds. They are a valuable resource in my investment strategy and have proved to significantly improve my overall returns especially in the current state of the market. I would hope you reconsider in eliminating access to these investment vehicles.
It is a bad idea for you to impose these restrictions. Once again, you want special privileges like using leverage only given to the 1%, not the little guys who need it the most. You want to keep the casion rigged for the big guys. Shame on you.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST LEVERAGED AND INVERSE FUNDS.
I 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. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I think these restrictions on my right to invest should not be put in place.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
Dear FINRA,
I oppose limitations on my investments. Leveraged ETFs makes it easier for me to take on the reward/risk profile without having to take out loans. I would argue it is safer for people to invest what they have rather than what they borrowed.
Thank you for taking my comment into consideration.
This should not be a rule. Regulators should NOT be able to choose the investments that are right for me! I should not be restricted as to what is available to me.
Dear Regulators,
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest!
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of an investment strategy. They can help to reduce risk as well as boost returns when combined with a balanced, diversified portfolio. Like all investment vehicles, they can be used improperly, but this fact should not be used to restrict trading or especially to limit them to high-income investors. It is not fair to give accredited investors such a significant advantage over regular investors when it comes to hedging their positions.
