Dear FINRA,
Public investments should be available to all of the public NOT just the PRIVILEDGED.I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me.
I am very capable of understanding investments and the risk. I shouldn't have to go through any special process of test taking before investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I have done my own research and am very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Dear FINRA I WISH TO RETAIN MY RIGHTS TO FREELY TRADE ALL TYPES OF STRATEGIES, WITHOUT ANY FINRA INCUMBERANCES. Please not add restrictions of any kind that would do so. If you must provide protection it should only be provided on a OPT-IN basis. Thank you

I'm totally against what FINRA is trying to tell investors like myself what I can and can't invest!! This is government regulation gone nuts if this ever happened.

Dear regulators, I greatly oppose the attempts to change my ability to make investments.I get to decide how, when, where, and how much of my money I get to invest, not you. Public investments should be available to all the public without going through any hoops or passing exams you deem necessary. I am perfectly capable of understanding my investments and the risks those investments entail. Limiting the ability to invest to those of high net worth takes away all ability for those if us to invest towards retirement or work towards our financial freedom.

I want to choose the investments that are right for me. It is not for regulators to make this decision. I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds and weigh these risks in determining how much money I should invest in such funds. I enhanced my overall returns when I held such funds and sold them when I considered it appropriate to do so. If regulators step in and reduce access to these funds, only the very wealthy or investors who have special access will be able to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. Americans are not stupid.

I just think it's crazy that I have to pay someone to use my money.

I find it ironic that our government proposes to restrict investments that allow citizens to protect themselves from government interventions in markets. I specifically indicate inverse bond funds. These allow investors to offset detrimental actions of government agencies, such as the expansion of the money supply by the Federal Reserve, in a very simple and inexpensive manor. Or maybe you specifically intend to harm me by forcing me to accept ruinous government financial actions without access to protection.

to FINRA regulators dear sir I am aware of the risks of leveraged and inverse ETFs I don't want to go through special passing tests to invest in these funds.they are important for my investment strategy sincerely

Dear FINRA, I come from the industry, although now retired, and am an active trader using leveraged products. I agree with you that anyone using these products should be able to demonstrate sophistication and an understanding of the underlying optionality and risks. (In cases of trading discretion, the person with trading discretion over the client's, or family member's, assets should be the one attesting, with the ultimate asset owner's assent to the product's use.)

This is a statment that says I live in the US. Were we should have the right to purchase freely any stock, ETF, or any investments we choose with out regulation, passing a test or any other type of legislation that restricts our rights to choose an investment. This proposed legislation infringes our constitutional right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Do not take away our rights that we are entitled to in this country.
