Who are you to regulate my ability to select one investment over another? When I invest I am fully aware of the consequences of my choices and I do not appreciate your attempt to restrict access to my choices because you think I may not have the capacity to determine what's best for me.
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich and paying off your student loans?

I steadfastly disagree with any attempt to limit the ability for individual investors to invest in complex products including but not limited to leveraged and inverse funds.

I oppose to limit investors to buy/sell Leveraged ETFs.

Dear FINRA,

I understand that there are predatory finance company's that'll use promising language. However, regulation isn't the answer to this problem. You need to hold the predators accountable. Our bloated government and the hundreds if not thousands of regulations will make it easier for these predators to hide behind. Bigger government is not better government, free markets are, and it will root out bad actors. V/r

I consider it vital that ordinary investors retain the right to invest in leveraged, inverse funds such as UVXY. During market declines, these are frequently nearly the only investments that go up, while everything else goes down together like a flock of birds. During the financial crisis of 2008, I was wiped out because I only invested in stocks which my investment letters assured me would be hardy enough to withstand any correction. Instead, I found out the hard way, they all dropped together.

I am a 40 year old CFA Charterholder, investing for my own portfolio. I am shocked and disturbed to hear that investing in and/or trading certain products will be contingent upon certain criteria. I am investing my own capital, and feel it is against my rights to be told what I can and cannot invest in. Furthermore, I have completed extensive exams within the financial space, as well as worked for the largest global investment manager, BlackRock.

I have used leverage index mutual funds and ETF's as part of my investing methodology for the past 15 years. I understand the downside as well as the upside potential. Making these funds unavailable or difficult to purchase would severely limit my investing success.

I have been trading for many years and use the pro shares option To balance my long positions. As a retail investor it is fair For me to have the same options as the institutional big guys.

I'm starting to see a trend with our government officials trying to regulate what we can and cannot do with our hard working earned money and what little of it most of us have now because of what they've put us through in the past 3 years!!
