As an American, I am opposed to any form of regulation which would limit my right and my ability to freely invest in whatever choices are available. By definition public investments should remain available to the public.

These rules and regulations are for the rich to stay rich and so the retail average investor has little to no chance. Larger investors simply have the capital and can just buy their way into privilege. Someone's access to financial products should not be limited to their class as your access to medical care should not and is not limited to your class race or anything for that matter. We all deserve an equal playing field and these regulations only favor the already wealthy.

Dear Sirs/Madams:

I object very strongly to any FINRA regulation which would limit my freedom to choose my own investment tools to manage my own assets. I have been an investment professional for more than 60 years and fully understand the risks of inverse and/or leveraged ETFs which I use as a hedge against market risk.

Stop the governmental over-reach. Instead help educate current and future generations have the knowledge to be individually responsible.

The prospectus for proshare leveraged products adequately describe the risks involved. They are no more risky than many other product readily available to the public. FINRA should focus on such scams as Bitcoin and other digital currencies (also known as magic beans) that have zero intrinsic value and are openly marketed to the public through television.

We should be able to make decisions about our money without government intervention.

So let me get this right. The Fed in pandering to the Democrat Party Mob and the crippling spending they have engaged in, and somewhat to those never pick a fight Republicans, has created a huge mess and the one thing that helps a person not loose in the market day after day, is reserved for the fat cats that made the mess. The whole idea of the Fed, a private bank, was to prevent situations like this. They obviously have not done their job. Do not tamper with the inverse funds. Thank you,

Re: FINRA Ive Invested in the Markets for over 12yrs, Ive always appreciated the fact that I could Invest freely, make my own choices and decisions on what, where, Why & when I choose to Invest, Moreover, and based on the proliferation & numerous tools & Resources available to the Individual Retail Investor these days the case for the freedom of choice became even more compelling These same tools, like none other, have helped investors make Informed decisions, and at last Leveled the playing field btw Institut.

Let me choose where and how I invest my money

I do not want to forfiet my right to invest in whatever financial vehicle is available to me. Everyone is smart enough to learn whatever is needed before making an investment. The last thing I want is to be guided by some commissioned broker who only wants to pad his wealth using transaction volume for his commision fee. In summary, like anything else in life, let the individual choose. That is what this country - freedom - was founded on.
