If options, futures, and crypto are all fair game, so should these investment devices. I agree with having to sign a waiver and apply to trade them, but banning these funds is not in the best interests of Americans.

Individual investors should have ALL investment products available to them, without restrictions, so they can pursue the investment goals that match their specific risk/reward profile. We are more than capable of understanding complex instruments and how to use them to enhance our potential gains or hedge against losses during downturns. Making these investment types available only to large or 'professional' institutions or wealthy individuals would put regular, individual investors at an even greater disadvantage than we already are.

Hi, FINRA

I am a small investor, and I appose the restrictions on my right to invest the inverse ETF

All stock market is now dramatically dropping, it seems no any policy/regulations can stop the dropping. However, inverse ETFs are extremely powerful tools, which can protect my investment portfolio against the stock market dropping. If I lost the right to use inverse ETF to hedge the market risk, it could be a disaster for my investment at current situation.

Government bureaucrats have no authority to infringe on the rights of free, private individual citizens to make financial decisions. Congress needs to take action to shut down regulators like FINRA who overstep their bounds.

I vehemently oppose this regulation. These products are very helpful in managing risk and hedging a portfolio in volatile times such as now.

I invested in XRP because of the barbaric SEC frivolously claiming to have legal authority to do things that they clearly dont. There is no reason for SEC to exist and all SEC employees should be blacklisted. SEC is consistently guilty of creating the very problems it was supposedly created to solve. No barriers to entry should exist for participation in the markets. They just want to reduce retail investors' ability to profit in all market conditions and bet against the failing US economy and overall stock market

Its my money. I dont need YOUR protection. You only protect Wall Street anyway. You are all criminals.

Please keep your business out of crypto , its imaginary

Most people completely understand all the risks inherent in leveraged and inverse funds. Brokerages provide notices for people who do not understand them as a warning (which should be enough!) and it should be an investors responsibility to know what they are investing into. I hold a PhD and know the risks inherent in these types of investments and I think the proposed rule is unnecessary and makes investing more exclusive then it already is. I use these tools to trade in ways that allows me to hedge my portfolio.

I am writing to you as I believe I should have to go through your proposed regulations regarding purchasing leveraged and inverse funds. I have been investing for over 40 years and shouldn't have to now go through a special process like passing a test. I am competent enough to make my own decisions and don't need you proposing measures on me regarding my own hard earned money.
