Im writing to let you know I oppose this measure. I should be allowed to invest in what I choose. At my own risk.

I am writing to the FINRA to express my concerns about proposed restrictions that would inhibit my ability to freely invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs.

I am an adult and I am able to make trades of my choice.

I dont want to have to endure going through any draconian measures imposed upon me or my family members before buying a leveraged or inverse ETF.

I have traded ETFs of this nature in the past, and I have been successful and unsuccessful.

I am able to live with the consequences of my decisions.

I am greatly opposed to a Regulator taking away my rights to invest in legitimate investments that have been around for years. By interfering with these investments, you will damage investors already invested such as myself. Please stop the governmental seize of our rights and freedoms.

Absolutely ridiculous and offensive to restrict who can invest and who cannot.

My accounts are mine and mine alone. The government should not be meddling in private affairs and accounts.

Use of leveraged ETFs is a small but important part of my investment strategies. These instruments are used at times for both leveraging and hedging. Additional restrictions around the use of these ETFs are not beneficial to the consumer. As an investor I am well aware of how leveraged ETFs work and the increased risk they bring to my portfolio. Additional restrictions about what investment vehicles the retail investor is allowed to and not allowed to investment are not of benefit.

why should you restrict our right and choice to invest as we wish? are you able to guarantee that we always make a profit and never a loss in our investments? if not, what kind of a crazy idea is this??? we don't live in a communist country or dictatorship for god's sake!!!

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. Don't protect only big investors & institutions. Stand up for little guy as well as big. We're most of Americans. And VOTERS.

Just leave people alone. Many dont want or need your help. Just leave us alone.

Regulation of these critical investment tools is wrong. Okay to buy long only equity index etfs and leveraged long etfs but not inverse etfs or leveraged inverse etfs ? Come on people why arent individual investors allowed to make money no matter the market direction? I recall the federal government tried to ban short selling financial stocks and indexes during the financial crisis in fall of 2008! But its still okay to buy stocks like Peleton and Paypal and watch those decline 90%? Or buy the QQQ and have it decline 80 pct like in 2000-2003? Or look at IBB (biotechs) Now!
