Hi FINRA,

You should not determine if an individual can or cannot invest in one of these funds. It should be left up to the individual to perform the due diligence when choosing investments. Taking the route of offering financial investment education in our public school system would be more of a solution. Treat the problem not the symptom.

I totally disagree with the proposed steps to limit trading of inverse and leveraged ETFs. It would be reasonable to make the broker warn you about the risks the first time such an investment is made, but not to restrict or delay a trade.

please let everyone invest freely !!! Don't stop my profits in my portfolio!

Dont hurt retail investors
We need freedom of invest.

Leverage ETFs and Inverse investments have been a component of my investment strategy for years. Regulatory scrutiny should be focused on accurate reporting rather than limiting certain types of investments. Security valuations have always been driven by reasoned expectations of future cash flows. Let the investor take the risks he or she chooses including market hedging devises as mentioned above.

I use leveraged and inverse funds to enhance and hedge my portfolio of investments. These leveraged and inverse funds are a limited, but important part of my investment and investors like me should be allowed to use them regardless of their net worth. I understand the risks of these investments and should have the ability to use them.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.

I am a small investor. In this market, buying ETF's has enabled me to limit my losses. Leave ProShares ETF's alone .... it is not broken.

There should be no restrictions on leverage ETF's. They serve a useful purpose.

I think it makes trading not fair and leveled for all people, if you limit trading leveraged etf, for having a certain amount of money and needing cooling time,

Warnings that we accept should be enough for ppl to know the risks.

And most ppl learn stocks from their own unofficial sources and making official curriculum, will make it hard for people with other jobs to invest in stocks
