It is completely wrong for the government to prevent individual Americans to not be able to purchase leveraged and inverse funds. Nor should investors be required to pass tests before they can make such purchases.
It is truly none of the federal governments business how I buy my shares and what I buy.
Please desist from this terribly mistaken path you are on and drop they idea. Thank you!

I have the rights to choose public investments that are right for myself and any restrictions to trading takes away those rights.

I'm also a seasoned investor capable of understanding leveraged and inverse trades and their risks. The leveraged and inverse funds are important to my trading strategy.

Hence I am against any regulartory restrictions on leveraged trades by common investors.

I'm fully aware of the risk involved with leveraged trades. That's why I put effort into the research I perform. I DO NOT need the Government "looking out for my best interest ". I love the freedom of investing outside of my TSP. This love diminishes with every regulation that aims to lookout for us unaccredited investors

Please do not implement these regulations. I am knowledgeable and can make my investment choices.

I want to retain the same option to buy and sell any equity, stock, etf ,mutusl fund, etc. at my sole descrition that I currently enjoy.

Please stay out of it! Ticker SSO has changed my financial life for the better (from a six figure to a seven figure net worth.)

You not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.

I was disappointed to hear about this potential change. I have been investing in the public markets for 20 years. Although I do not have a degree or certification in finance, I feel I am knowledgeable enough to invest in both leveraged and inverse funds. I feel strongly that the decision to invest in leveraged funds should be my decision, and not the regulators. And certainly, there is enough inequity in the current markets. We dont have to shift the balance any further towards the privileged!

I am strongly opposed to the FINRA's misguided proposed regulations. This absolutely irresponsible regulation would clearly hurt investors by denying me the ability to choose investments that could help me and my family achieve long term financial security. It would also upend our regulatory system by giving regulators the right to decide what public securities that I can invest in and takes that right away from me. It is arbitrary and vague. The definition of "complex products" could ensnare a large number of public securities.

I think changing the way things are done now to the way you plan on doing will hurt us small investors more then you realize. Things were gong along smoothly enough up to now and this change will just muddy up things.
