Do you remember the tax act of 1986, it took back what was granted to investors in the 1981 tax act and slammed the entire economy into reverse for about five years. This is the same kind of action.

I would not use inverse ETFs, or short market.

I keep the exposure as s small portion of an overall portfolio, and have a large cash balance. So, using these, I can keep cash % larger.

Biggest single equity position: Berkshire Hathaway, since 1995.

I am a CFA charter holder and I believe it is every investors right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. Please do not ban leveraged ETFs. They can be a great risk management tool for those who use responsibly.

I am strongly opposed to these restrictions being considered for leveraged and inverse funds.
Regulators should not be able to restrict or limit public investments that are right for me and my family.

Restrictions like passing a test before I can invest in public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds are unnecessary. I am quite capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.

Hello FINRA, I have been using leveraged ETF's in my portfolio using a strategy based on an algorithm that helps me decide when to buy and sell and I have been successful using this strategy. I have a firm belief that I, not the regulators should be able to choose the investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few.

I strongly object to the proposal of of restricting leveraged and inverse funds as investment tools. No one has the right to tell someone how they can or cannot invest their own money!!

I am wholly against any FINRA regulations which would limit how and where I invest my personal funds as long as these investments are legal and in compliance with all with existing SEC regulations.

I am opposed to any legislation preventing me from trading these types of securities. I have been trading options for 15 years, and have been trading leveraged and inverse etfs for at least 10 years. I know how they work and have studied these vehicles at length. I studied options and used practice accounts over 15 years ago before I ever used options. I use options and leveraged etfs as investment vehicles and as insurance/protection. I never put all my money in one investment. When I use options and leveraged etfs, I only use a certain percentage of my total portfolio.

I oppose regulations that will impede my ability to invest in inverse funds and leveraged funds. Whether to invest in such funds should be my decision, which in any event I do with moderation and caution.

I am an experienced investor. Restricting my ability to invest in inverse funds is not right.

Dear FINRA,
