I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest! Im the one but not regulators 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. I know what Im doing and Im the one who takes all the risks. So I dont think 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 understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. and I do not need these measures imposed on me.

Unless future tradings for retailers and institutions likewise will be banned all together, I dont see why leveraged and inverted ETFs should be shunned for the retailers alone. At least the losses of an ETF is more controllable.

I wish to keep my right to be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds and other popular investments. If it is too complex for me than I can decide on my own. I do not need FINRA or any other government agency to hold my hand. Thank you very much.

As a non-professional retail investor, I strongly oppose the restriction of availability of leveraged and inverse ETFs and other investment vehicles. The risks of trading such securities are already made very clear and are displayed on the order confirmation screen of single buy/sell order, at every major brokerage firm that sells these products. The reach of regulation should end there- with a warning label- just as it does in the tobacco industry.

I do not need anyone to limit my decisions on how, when or why I want to spend my money in any way at all. Life is a Gamble whether I spend my money on Leveraged & Inverse Funds, Casino Gambling, Lottery Tickets, Sports Betting or Speculative Real Estate is my decision. There are No Guarantee's in life. I use these funds as part of my investing strategies. Back Off!

This is a stupid idea. Let people invest how they want.

Regulators should not determine what risks or opportunities that I want to apply to my portfolio construction. Hands off the tools I use to hedge and diversify my portfolio. There is already plenty of literature and information on the risks associated on these investments.

I likely would fit all the criteria (VHNW, etc.) which I sort of sign off on for options trading at Fidelity yet I oppose this action. There are better ways to achieve investor protection without making them jump through hoops which in practice just turn out to be theatre.

I agree with extensive warning and labels to ward off uneducated investors. But regulator imposed tests, etc. are just another way for test makers to make money and an added cost of doing business with leveraged ETFs.

I have invested on my own for for 36 years, doing my own due diligence, reading, and using my informed judgement. People make all types of financial decisions such as career choices, where or whether to purchase a home, what type of healthcare they access, the foods they consume, where they travel, etc.- the list could go on for pages. Any mature adult of sound mind can make financial decisions of varying complexity without testing for this. Do you take a medical literacy test before seeing a physician, an aeronautical engineering test before taking a flight?

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. You do not know best for others!
