Please keep your rules out of my investment strategy. I invest for myself and the well being of my family and leveraged funds are a significant part of my strategy. It is inappropriate to exclude the general public from investment vehicles that are available to the elite. It is also quite possible for anyone with more than an 8th grade education to understand risk and leverage.

Using inverse indexes and leveraged funds is a key component of my investing strategy. It has helped immensely in the early portion of this year with significant market declines. My accounts are performing well ahead of the market. This has been true in the past several years through the use of both leveraged and inverse funds. Please allow me to continue to use these funds without proving my investment ability.

Individuals, not regulators, should decide what investments are appropriate. Any investment is a risk, and there are many investments that some people would not approve of, but that does not mean they should be banned. Leveraged and inverse investments are important alternative for many people. I oppose restrictions on these investments.

I don't want to have my right to invest in various types of instruments impeaded, especially now when the markets are getting more volitile. Restrictions always harm the small Investor.

I would like to invest freely and without any restrictions or limitations...thank you

I oppose any restriction that limits my right to invest. I have been investing in stock market since 1988 and have been able to make a living from my returns. I appreciate FINRA and the protections provided to the individual investor, but we do not need any additional restrictions regarding our investments.

I have the right to invest without your permission and over sight.

Myself, not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me. 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 have been trading leveraged funds for almost a decade, and rely on this actively for income. I use inverse funds to hedge and mitigate risk.

As a recently retired investment professional, I believe clients (including myself) have the right to freely select investments, (no matter how complex) and not be subject to the restrictions of FINRA's potential regulations. It is the financial professional's responsibility and within the compliance guidelines of their associated clearing/ brokerage firm to make sure the investor has a clear understanding of the risks involved in investing in what is deemed a "complex" product. I strongly oppose these limitations.

Hello. I beleive we can make our own decisions to our investments, this includes leveraged funds. I use them for leverage and hedging, both important elements for a good financial plan. Law markers should look at oher things like dishonesty amoungst the people that make the markets.
I dont think they should be allowed to partisipate in the makrkets.
