I've been investing for the last 21 years (since I was 19 years old). I am now 40 years old with two kids, seven and four.

I am capable of making my own investment decisions.

Leveraged and inverse funds help me execute on strategies that I have developed over my career as an investor. They are liquid, they are convenient, and they are safe with people who know how to use them.

Restricting or banning leveraged and inverse funds would be like banning kitchen knives because they are not safe.

I feel this is a radical proposal that is an over reach of power by our federal government dictating what instruments I can invest in. If FINRA thinks that hardworking Americans are too stupid to invest in these instruments and only the privileged should then it shows the disparity in fairness between the have and have nots.

No es necesario que debamos pasar por una prueba para poder invertir

Hi I truly believe as an investor that we should be able to decide how we can invest our hard earned money, and not by regulators out there, every investor is aware of the risks that they take, and it should be totally up to them to decide how to invest their money freely and how big of a risk they want to take without any objections from government regulators, thanks

This is [REDACTED]! We have the right to invest in any ETF. This is clearly a case of lobbying on the part of large mutual funds that are upset because they aren't making the money they used too. I'll be watching to see how this vote goes!

To whom it may concern;

I strongly oppose the proposed restrictions to certain public investments deemed too "complex" for a number of different reasons.

First and foremost, I value freedom. I do not want my freedom to access and invest in a broad range of investment products to be restricted. Public investments should be available to the public and not just a privileged few who are deemed worthy by a regulatory body.

I am an experienced trader who was a series 7 rep on Wall St. I understand leveraged funds and am completely comfortable trading them. They are important to my overall investment strategy, and it would be harmful to me financially if I were not allowed to trade them. Please do not place any restrictions on them.

Seriously guys? Stop letting only the rich invest in financial instruments that allow them to grow rich. This is ridiculous. I understand you want to prevent fraud. But this is NOT THE WAY

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. Leave it to end users where and what to invest.

All investments should not be regulated. If an individual decides to take a risk they should do so at their own discretion. Leverage is used in many other derivative assets like FX, futures, real estate, and options. Why should equity leverage be any different.
