I am opposed to the proposed regulations toward Proshares and the like.

I am 74 years old and have the majority of my assets under mgt. with two different styled advisors. I have invested in Pro Shares Short S & P 500 ETF for two small accounts (which I oversee) in a very limited and disciplined approach to offset the economic problems caused by the current administration in Washington. I understand the risk, but given the current market conditions, believe it is very appropriate. Please do not limit my freedom to choose.

The ability to invest in these types of products is what makes our market so great, having that ability taken away isn't right or in the best interest of investors. Every day investors need to learn and have experiences of investing in these complex products with learning about them through experience while understanding the potential risks of doing so. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON MY RIGHT TO INVEST IN THE BEST MARKET AND COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!

Federal Reserve policies are beyond my control. I must have a way to hedge against their policies. Access to leveraged and inverse securities offer me that ability. There are millions of small investors like me who want the same freedom to choose how we invest our money.

Hello - It has been brought to my attention that FINRA is considering taking action against "complex products" which include leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them as a limited part of my portfolio with the goal of seeking enhanced returns. It should be my option to choose which investments are right for me and my family. I'm not ok with FINRA or anyone else deciding which tools I use to build my financial 'house'. I am ok with an extra pop-up or alert from the broker.

FINRA, This is patently ridiculous and Un-American. Just exactly why is this being contemplated? Why should a trader not have the right to effectively change their minds, regarding their sentiment towards the markets. Its patently ridiculous to imply that individual investors only be left with buy&hold or buy & sell to cash alternatives. The same thought processes apply to leveraged funds and covered options. These things are toolsmaybe not used by all, but certainly valuable to many. Its like Lowes deciding that Joe Q.

Please let me, make choices on what I will invest in. If its publicly available it should available to all of the public.

As an investor, we should have the right to choose our own specific investment vehicles best suited to our investment objectives and risk tolerance. Leveraged and Inverse funds, although involving more risk, can help individual investors with my investment experience and risk tolerance, are able to achieve the results I'm looking for as part of my overall investment portfolio.
This decision should ultimately be my choice, and should not be left in the hands of regulators.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me. Also, Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies.

I am against any intention to take away my right to manage my investment. I consider this right is essential for me to invest the way I want and the way to use leverage instruments to grow and protest my wealth and wellbeing.
