I oppose restrictions on my right to invest my own monies in any of the publicly traded securities which I choose. I do my research and if a security fits my investment and risk criteria, then I should be able to invest in it. Leveraged and inverse funds can be an important part of an individual's investment portfolio, providing enhanced potential returns without the risk of margin trading.

Want to invest in inverse funds to balance my stock funds.

I oppose you trying to restrict my investment I should be able to decide what is best for me to invest in and should be available to all public. I should not have to go through a special process to invest in public securities.

I oppose the rule that would make it more complex or difficult to buy leveraged funds.

I'm concerned about the proposed restrictions on what investment products we can invest in. I probably wouldn't qualify under them but I subscribe to an investment written by people who would most definitely qualify. I have complete faith in their investment recommendations and invest accordingly. In my view, these restrictions are a bad idea.

I was under the impression that government's financial regulations were put in place to protect the public. I trying don't understand who FINRA is protecting by creating these regulations because it's definitely not me, the average net worth financial investor/consumer. From what I've seen so far, these regs will only make it substantially more difficult on people like myself.

To whom it concerns, the idea that you would restrict certain types of investments to just an elite class of people is completely absurd to me! I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family! This is MY MONEY and I should always have the right to decide where I want to invest that based on what I believe is in my best interest.

I am perfectly capable of trading inverse and leveraged funds, because I manage my portfolio and find them useful in making money. They are no more dangerous than call or put options.

I should not have to go through another bureaucratic process to trade my own account.

I don't understand how you can decide to limit investment opportunities on leveraged funds that I have bought for over a decade. This is absolutely insane. I know what I am investing in and have done well for over 20 years. It is disgusting that you would try to limit my ability to invest in something that I know well and are important to my investment strategies. These are legitimate investments and I should not have to prove anything to invest especially when we live in a country where freedom to invest is a right.

Once again, I have been Informed by ProShares that further restrictions are being considered on leveraged and inverse exchange traded funds. As I stated previously, these are among the best vehicles available in the market. I have made my living as an individual investor since February 1980. As I also stated, I have now used these vehicles for more than a decade and they have been consistently profitable in total. They are even more valuable in the current environment when there few opportunities to hedge current holdings or to seek profits.
