I am deeply disturbed by the proposed regulation limiting access to leveraged and inverse ETFs (which are publicly-traded securities) to those with high net worth who pass a specialized regulatory exam and then jump through a series of administrative and timing-related hoops.

I would like the right to invest in my best interest - I am a small investor that can only invest small amount of money each week and I find that these inverse funds works perfectly. I don't find them to be anymore volatile than most tech stocks trading on the NASDAQ. I am not a day trader - I buy these inverse funds to hold depending on what I believe the economy will do. I have been doing this for years I know how they work.

As an investor I should have every right to invest in any equity or security of my choosing, free of any restrictions. Requiring additional paperwork to prove a certain net worth or financial competency is discriminatory and imposes undue burdens on my personal liberties as a member of the free market. It is my risk alone to invest in products such as leveraged exchange-traded funds, and thus there should be no barriers to accessing those investments.

I would like the flexibility to buy. It should be left to individual investors to decide if they want to buy leveraged and/or inverse funds.

I use these funds to manage my risk and to achieve better returns. Please do not take away this.

Thanks.

I have the right to invest my money and take the risks associated with investment. I do not want or need additional regulations if FINRA deems I too am stupid . It is an insult to me and to others.

Nobody needs to police my investment choices. If I chose certain vehicles classified as risky, that should be my choice and nobody elses choice.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. How dare the government try to impede on yet another free right.

I oppose restrictions to investing in leveraged ETF's for individual investors. WE all get the information regarding risks to investing in these funds and as such should be permitted to buy, sell and hold these as we see fit based on our personal financial goals and needs.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, investing in public funds is a right and testing knowledge is akin to a poll test.

Public investments should be available to ALL of the public, NOT just the PRIVILEGED few.....

All one has to do is read what is provided by the securities to know, understand what they offer... It is a joke, insult to think I would need to take a class, pass a test to try to make money with MY MONEY.......
