I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. What else can I buy to hedge my investments??

To whom it may concern, Instead of regulators choosing which investments I can and can't use, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public. I shouldn't have to go through any special process before you can invest in public securities. If a product is complicated, there are already rules in place for accredited investors. I am perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds, along with their risks.

The denial to freely invest without the need for Government regulation is the denial of freedom. Since the founding of our nation the ability to spend our money and have the opportunity to make it grow further has been our nations bedrock. Please do not meddle with our system that makes our nation so unique and special.

Please do not impose unnecessary restrictions on my ability to buy and sell securities you may deem complex. I should not have to go through any type of screening or pass through any type of process before using such financial instruments.

I don't think restrictions on how people invest there money should be enforced. It's our money and we should be able to invest it how we see fit. I highly doubt regulators would want to be told how they can and can't invest their money, so why enforce those stipulations on the public. You do you, and we'll do us. Thank you.

ALCON:

As a military veteran, it's very demoralizing to see an attempt to limit one's ability to prosper on their own and create independence from others. Requiring credentials to invest is absurd and completely unwarranted.

We as individual investors, should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family, not regulators.

Cryptocurrencies are a portion of my diversified portfolio and allow my family to invest in things we feel are necessary for our financial longevity and independence.

It's my money, I can do what I want with it.

please do not regulate our ability to invest in pro shares and other similar products. You [REDACTED] need to worry about real problems, like the corrupt annuity industry

I want to be able to continue to purchase leveraged funds. For the most part, the use of these financial instruments have benefitted me.

To whom it concerns at the FINRA. I have heard that y'all are considering adding regulations to leverage and inverse funds. I strongly oppose additional regulations as I believe such regulations will burden investors and our saving goals. Regulators should not be in charge which public investments I would like to choose, they already regulate 14% of our salaries for social security.
