I fully understand these types of investments and am very disappointed in this proposal. We should be free to invest as we see fit. It is my money, not the governments. I do not need to jump through arbitrary hoops. I am respectfully asking you not to take MY freedom from me - You are not responsible for my decisions on what where or when I invest. You should focus on rooting out securities fraud and financial malfeasance-not questioning the intelligence of investors

I can buy or sell options instead of leverage or inverse ETFs, but they will expire. ETFs will permit me stay invested for the long term (months or years). They are not complex

I demand that i be able to continue to buy leveraged funds. I'm willing to take the risk and understand what they are. To take that away takes away freedom to choose which is wrong.

Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
We shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to our
investment strategies.

This rule is wrong! Government can' t regulate tge financial decisions of people. Financial education is an individual choice of the 14 amendment and not dictative rule!

Dear FINRA,

we already attest to the risks and should be allowed to trade inverse funds. Unless your goal is to suppress the little guy.

It is not fair to ban the Leveraged and inverse funds in the mid way once it started, its like stealing my money as everyone has a investment techique and long term goals , bannning now means my 10+ years of wait missing the growth is foul game as I have been waiting on this for a while 2011. rise , 2018 raise, 20220 raise all was on false grounds and castle built on air I strongly oppse the ban decision

This is ridiculous and regulatory overreach. I've been a FINRA licensed professional for over 25 years and can't believe this is now coming up. These products are great tools for investors. Curbing their availability could lower their liquidity. Do not restrict these products!

I oppose restrictions to my right to buy leveraged and inverse funds

I 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 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.
