FINRA, I should be able to choose the investments appropriate for me including leveraged and inverse funds if I so choose. There should not be special tests imposed to buy these. If you wish to require that brokers issues warnings about risks at the time of purchase, which the buyer must acknowledge, that is okay, but there should not be special processes or tests. I use inverse and sometimes leveraged instruments to offset risks of other investments in my portfolio. I wish to continue to.
Thanks.

We do not need regulators to tell us how to invest our money Public investments should be available to all not the special privileged few.

I want to have my own choice to make investment

I am distressed that you are considering limiting my choices on how I make or lose money.
Please do not proceed with this Ill considered effort to direct what investment s I can make!

Restricting investor access to inverse and leveraged funds while leaving such funds available to institutional investors is both discriminatory and likely to contribute to wealth inequality in America. Requiring a certain net worth is a particularly insulting way to discriminate against individual investors. I understand that these funds can move in ways that unsophisticated investors do not understand and I also understand the desire to protect said investors from potential loss. The clear solution to this tension is a knowledge test and NOT any of the other proposed hurdles.

I believe free Americans should have the right to be free if not hurting anyone else. Regulators need to spend their time removing unnecessary regulations instead of making new ones that infringe on our freedoms.

Dear Sir or Madam: One aspect that I love about the financial markets in this country is the FREEDOM we have to invest in a wide variety of investment options, such as leveraged funds. I am grateful that we live in a country that believes investors are intelligent enough to ascertain the risks and rewards of such investment vehicles. BUT WAIT! So regulators are considering limiting access to such investments? That is very much a "Putin-esque" move on the part of regulators. PLEASE let us, the investors, make our own choices.

I oppose regulations that limit my right to invest in public securities and public investments, including inverse funds and leveraged products. People should not have to pass regulator-imposed tests or have high net worth in order to be allowed to make investments and balance their portfolios with the products that best represent their investment goals and risk appetite.

Here we go again! Taking opportunity away from the retail investors so the professionals can continue to have all of the advantages. Doing this will not allow us retail investors to hedge our investments in market downturns. Do not take away investment options from the retail investors.

I'm contacting you to oppose the potential additional regulation applied to certain "complex" investments.
