I strongly oppose restrictions and limitations on inverse and leveraged investment products.

i would show my displeasure at the risk of not able to trade the leverage funds.

It is disappointing to read of further regulations against the retail trader. These funds are at our own risk. It is upsetting that I even have to comment in an attempt to preserve the ability to provide myself and family a better financial opportunity.

I am over 60 years old with more than 15 years investment experience in E-Trade. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for my family and myself.
I have around $600,000 in my E-Trade account, and I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. These leverage and inverse funds are only count for very small portion of my overall investment, and they help me to protect (hedge) my investments. Please allow me to continue to use these investments. Thanks.

To apply these additional burdens to investors is absurd.

Why only allow the wealthy elites of society access to leveraged products?

Is FINRA my nanny? Can I not decide what risk is appropriate for my own family? Does one need to be so highly enlightened to understand levered products?

Will you start saying that Growth stocks are too risky and limit my ability to invest in them too? If not, why? If you can limit my ability for levered etfs, please tell me how your logic does not apply to other risky equities?

I should be able to choose my own investments. I currently hold one leveraged fund and would like to be able to continue to invest it in. Thanks!

I presently have the ability to invest in 2X or 3X funds and wish to continue to have the right - IF I choose to take it. Please do NOT try to decide FOR me!

More regulation by the U.S. Government is not needed. Investors should be required to understand what they are investing in, prior to investing, which I believe they do. The government need not be involved in what the appropriate investment is for a particular person. These type investments can be used as a part of a strategy, for instance as a hedge to protect other investments which may lose value, and taking away this type investment could result in severe losses.

I am opposed to FINRAs proposal that would limit my freedom to invest in public securities of my choosing. FINRAs proposal on complex products is arbitrary, unworkable, assumes I am not capable of making my own investment decisions. Dont restrict my ability to achieve long-term financial security.

The regulations you are suggesting imply that only an elite class of investors are capable of making informed choices about their personal investments. I take offense to that as I believe that I am sufficiently intelligent to make my own risk assessments and investment decisions. And if Im not, I have no one to blame but myself. Investors dont need FINRA limiting our investment options under the guise of protecting us from ourselves.
