I am opposed to regulators restricting what I can invest in - they do not know what is right for me. I should not have to go through a special process to make investments of my choice.
Inverse funds are a key strategy in a volatile market - they should not be restricted to select groups to benefit from investing in.

I oppose any restrictions of my right to invest in any vehicle I wnt, including leveraged and inverse ETFs. The job of FINRA is to guard against fraud, not stupid decisions by investors.

Another regulatory stretch to solve a problem that does not exist. I should be able to invest wherever I choose, without guidance and interference from overzealous regulators and the entire supporting bureaucracy.

I continue to support federal government leadership on defense and similar urgent national matters. Please stay out of the individual investment world, and allow we the people to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Additional restrictions will be detrimental to my ability to choose investment instruments. Current regulations provide sufficient protection with freedom of choice.

Absolutely ridiculous!

RE: Proposed regulations on sale and use of leveraged and inverse funds.
Position: Against the regulations.

Use of leveraged and inverse funds (these funds) by our firm is limited to certain customers and certain situations.

For instance, currently there is a market correction occurring. A certain portion and profile of clients benefit rotating in and out of an inverse fund in either Rydex or in Profunds.

I oppose limitations on my ability to invest in these funds.
Adequate warns of the risk already exist.

I strongly oppose all restrictions on my right to invest as I choose. I use leveraged and inverse etf funds to hedge my investments. Please do not try to pass regulations that will interfere with my trading and cause me to lose money

I oppose limitations on my ability to buy the Funds

I am a retired financial executive with over 30 years of corporate finance and accounting experience. Additionally, I have a Master Degree in International Financial Management. My ability to understand my investing decisions is high. I have used ProShares products as a hedge in protecting some of my equity investments. Especially now, they have been useful tool for managing my portfolio. I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and I believe that your attempt to limit my freedom is an insult against me.
