I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I should not be limited in the investment opportunities I can capitalize on to build wealth. This regulation isn't for protection or guidance; it's to deny people of lower net worths, lower classes, and less privilege access to build wealth. The United States prides itself as a country where people can build themselves up, but limiting the investment opportunities removes the stair steps to create an even larger gap between the top (or even middle of) the staircase and the bottom.

I want to buy leveraged and inverse funds on my freedom right

Look when will you regulators learn the more we the people can make the more we can spend and fund your tax dollars.Keep drying up common peoples ability to make money and those tax dollars slow till they eventually stop. Dont forget you are supposed to represent us not control us in every aspect.

I strongly disagree with restrictions being placed on leveraged, public investments. Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my equity portfolio. I have also used inverse leveraged funds in the past. I should not be restricted from using these funds and I should not have to take a test to prove to anyone that I understand the risks of investing in leveraged funds. I already get a "pop up" message from my online brokerage (Fidelity) when I buy leveraged funds. I would like to see less restrictions from FINRA instead of more. Thanks for your consideration of my views.

I think people should be free to decide whether they should invest in leveraged funds. They should be able to profit from their good decisions and pay for their bad decisions without the interference of government. The government influence should be to make sure the system is fair to all.

Please leave those of us with enough sense to tie our own shoes to invest as we see fit.

I understand the financial risk that I am taking when I purchase leveraged and inverse funds. They are important aspects of my investing strategy. Please do not restrict these assets from the marketplace. Every ETF has a place in the market. Thank you.

Hello:

I am concerned about the possibility of being prevented from investing in various investments, like Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged funds.

I agree these are not for the uninformed investor. But in my case, I am informed. I used to have a series 7 license in my past. I do my own research, and make my own investment decisions. I am knowledgeable.

Please don't take away the INFORMED INVESTOR'S ability to invest in these.

STOP IT. Most people dont even know what ETF are and most pensions, 401k dont offer the ability to trade ETF of any kind. If youre so concerned about people losing their money then why dont you shut down casinos and Las Vegas. Stop trying to force people into mutual funds and managed accounts.

Occasionally, I have used "complex investment products," such as leveraged or inverse funds in my portfolio for specific purposes. As a retired person, I need growth in my investments to fund my living expenses and so far, 2022 has not been very kind. One bright spot in my portfolio has been the ProShares ETF that shorts the 20-year treasury bond which produces a return in a rising interest rate environment.
