Public investments should be available to all not just the wealthy.

I AM FULLY AWARE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED, AND DO MY OWN RESEARCH, AND HAVE DONE REASONALBLY WELL IN THOSE INVESTMENTS. AND DEEPLY RESENT YOUR EFFORTS TO PPARENT ME.

Government bureaucrats should stop running our lives. The US government protects and supports rich individuals and corporations. The gap between rich and poor has been increasing thanks to stupid regulations and the FEDs cheap money for rich. Get of our backs and let us run our lives. The new FINRA regulation of leveraged funds is unacceptable.

Do not pass more regulations. I am perfectly capable of understanding risk products including leveraged funds. I do not need FINRA Nanny State regulations nor do you have any constitutional authority to regulate the private individuals investing in the markets. The constitution guarantees my personal LIBERTY, which means my personal property is off bounds to FINRA. Back off or there will be political consequences you will regret. These proposed restrictions are a gross overreach and unlawful.

Ronald Regan said the role of government is to protect us from each other. But government gets out of control when it seeks to protect us from ourselves.

I am the best person to choose which investments are best for me to make and some investments should not be reserved for the privileged.

Please do not put any restrictions on my right to invest. I am more than capable, and am able to choose which funds to invest in and which funds to not invest in. Thank You! Sincerely; Robert M Cassady.

It is highly disturbibg that you would consider taking away our right to invest in leveraged funds. It seems you want to keep the citizens of USA under control like communism. Stop assuming all retail investors are too stupid to understand leveraged funds. Please do not vote yes to limit leveraged funds for retail investors.

I strongly object to your proposal to limit my ability to invest in leveraged/inverse instruments. I am currently retired, age 85 & of sound mind & body. I am more than capable to use my own judgement without federal government interference. In fact at this time I am invested several million dollars in leveraged instruments & am besting major market averages by about 10% from the first of this year.

Please
Keep your nose out of
My business

Leveraged products give investors unique exposure that other traditional investments dont. Without the use of leverage products the average investor may turn to even more riskier Investments like options and futures.
