It is me, not regulators, who has the right to choose the public investment that is good for me. Why should I have to pass an exam to be able to invest in certain public investments. leverage and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy and after all is my money.

I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge against losses in my stock portfolio.Investors should be free to choose their investments. They do not need restrictions on what they can buy and sell in their investment account. Mind your own business!

I am an active investor in the triple innverse options and found to be an important tool to hedge against down turn of sticks when it is quite expensive to buy put options. FINRA should should not block the usage of this tool. Thanks

FINRA administrator: I am writing to urge you to not infringe on my ability to direct my own investments, particularly regarding inverse or so-called "bear" funds. We have governmental bodies and procedures in place to determine if a person is mentally fit to manage their own affairs. Barring a determination that I am unfit to do so, I should have every right to invest my assets in the nature I deem most suitable to my own unique needs -- both within and outside of a 401k, 403b, or other similar plan.

We do not need to be overseen by government bureaucrats. Allow the people to determine their own investment strategies and educate themselves at their own initiative, not at the coercion of the government.

I fully understand the straightforward description of the leveraged funds I invest in -- I do not overweight them among all of my investments. I believe the limitations that FINRA are considering are overly restrictive.

I should be able to choose my investments.
It is ridculous to only allow these type of investments to certain groups of people. Especially the most wealthy! If you are investing you should be responsible for taking that risk and that is it, not regulated. These are publicly traded securities that I should not be locked out of accessing through a test and should be free and available to the public. Leveraged funds are critical investment strategies that allow you to reap enhanced rewards and protect your investments.

I want to maintain my current freedom to invest in public securities of your choosing. Please do not change guidelines around leverages funds thank you

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
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 am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me.
