Leveraged , inverse, and other complex strategies are an important part of my investment profile. They allow me to be precise in the risk and asset class of my choosing compared to corporate equities which in fact encapsulated many more risks.

Alll investment of public workers in goverment should be made public.How bout that?

Myself not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities. I am capable of understanding my investments and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you.

I have been investing for over 20 years, mainly in common stocks but sometimes in so-called “complex products” like futures, options, leveraged and inverse ETPs, etc. I use them when I believe they are suitable tools for the market situation at that moment. I don’t mean that I always make right investment decisions but, as a retail investor, I find that it is very important for me to have the right investment tools available in the market. In US, many investment tools are reserved for professional and institution investors.

Any politicians that go against the average Joe. Will lose votes. We the peopleh ave a right to invest. We the people hire The Government. We can replace you all. If you go hard against Us We will vote you out. Think about it. Informed Voter Sir Mark L Erwin 1st

As a self advised , private investor I should not have any restrictions placed upon what I can choose t invest in for myself and my family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. I fully understand cryptocurrency funds such as BITO and their risks. These investments are an important part of my overall investment strategy and provide diversification in my portfolio.

FINRA should stay out of the personal investing decisions
of the public. The leveraged and inverse funds are a great
aid and help in managing a portfolio.They can actually help
you controll your risk and increase your returns. So I say
again keep your NOSE out of the investing publics pockets.

I want to choose my investments and I shouldn't have to qualify by answering questions on a test. You overstep your authority and do not have the right to question my choices. You need to rethink imposing this regulation. I don't need an overseer!

Do NOT limit my ability to invest freely!

Individual Investors should have access to all financial instruments available to institutional investors. The high risk of inverse funds is made clear enough in the research. Individual investors in self-managed accounts would be at an even greater disadvantage without this.
