It is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. I do not need a regulator to protect me or my right to choose how I invest my money

This is simple, allow us to make our own choices like you do for large hedge funds and global banks that you continue to bailout.

I believe the risk of loosing capital is higher with options over leveraged index products. Therefore, I believe restriction should be similar to options. Further margin requirements should be substantially higher for leverage products based on the amount of leverage.

It's especially important regulators hear from you in your own words. Please use the body of this email to customize your response.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest !!
Stop pretending you are helping investors !!

I'm an ordinary investor in my 50s and have been investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs for about a decade. As an adult and investor I should be able to invest in leveraged and inverse products without requiring me to jump thru hoops. Leveraged products should be treated like any other high risk stocks or instrument, i.e., raise the margin requirement but do not require any undue burden, eliminate, limit or require any special process or even testing for goodness sake.

Almost all of investors are already well aware of the meaning of investing in leverged or inversed etf and no one can or should limit the personal choice with their own money

I totally oppose for the FINRA regulatory notice

Market makers already hold a considerable advantage over retail investors. Removing hedging mechanisms from retail will only make the markets more unhealthy and favorable for funds. options are not available in most company funded 401k and Roth accounts. You are removing the best hedging mechanism for defense during a down turn. Retail investors need the ability to play the downside in a tumultuous economy with highly volatile markets.

America is a country who always advocated equal rights. I should get right to invest my money the way I want. Stocks are also risky when big companies like BABA, NetFlix ets drop more than 70% from their all time high. People can loose the money when they trade Options of stocks. I regulators are really concerned about the risk of retail traders then the should regulate - - the market fall/rise % in a particular day - a stock fall/rise % in a particular day - the number of share hedge fund can trade in a day etc My right to invest in Leverage ETF should not be limited.

This year, S&P 500 index has dropped 15% from the peak. I need a way to hedge my long time investment during this volatile market.
