Leveraged Funds are a very important part of my investment which has enabled me to achieve my investment goals that would've been otherwise not possible to achieve. I strongly oppose the proposal by FINRA to restrict the use of Leveraged funds by common investors.
I really don't think the small investors have to go through any special process like passing a test before investing in securities like leveraged and inverse funds. This proposal is very unfair and will likely restrict an investor from accessing a great investment option.

I think people should be free to invest money without interference from the government. I think governments role should be to make sure that the playing field is fair. Individuals should profit from their good decisions and pay for their bad decisions.

I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. You will limit my options and ability to invest successfully if you implement this [REDACTED]. Im investing my money, not yours!

As an individual investor, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. It should not be limited to big banks and hedge funds.

I have been investing for over 20 years and I fully understand the risk. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies.

Ive used leveraged and inverse funds, as well as options on them, as a retail investor for years and I intend to continue doing so.

I strongly oppose regulators adding restrictions, making it difficult for investors to make their own investment choices. It is investorss decision in terms of how much risk they are willing to take and how they would like to invest their money. Please treat investors as adults and respect them as adults.

I have a long time horizon and fully understand the risks involved in these products but they also provide me substantial return enhancement at relatively low cost. This is especially important in a projected long term investment environment when expected stock returns will be muted compared to history. Do not take this opportunity set away from investors!!

I believe as an adult, I should be able to make my own decisions as to what is right and wrong for my family, my money and myself. With the legalization of options, futures that expire casinos and intra-game gambling on sports I cant see why how I invest my money should be regulated.

Hello,

I should be able to invest in any public investment without regulation. Leveraged and inverse funds play an important role in my and my families investment strategy. Anytime I made a trade in an inverse or leveraged fund I get a warning and disclosure and have to check a box saying I agree and understand the risks associated with the fund. As an investor that is plenty of disclosure of the possible risk and no other regulation is needed.

I believe the general public should be precluded from investing in these complex products. When you compare the retail investors who make money versus lose money in these products it is obvious that the products are not for the average retail investor.
