I am THE only person that should be able to choose investments that are right for me and my family. I do not want or need YOUR decisions imposed on me. I use leveraged and inverse funds to help me protect my investments or enhance my returns depending on market conditions. Restricting me to do so while allowing so called "professionals" to use the same techniques is abhorrent! As a private, self educated investor I am well equipped to make my own decisions about my investments. I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged or inverse publicly traded funds!

One more example of government overreach. Leave us alone! I'm sure the legislators are carving themselves out of this restriction too.

I think it makes sense to let people make their own choices

They can make a great hedge for little money.

This is ludicrous and socialist with small individual investors ability to secure their own financial security with a small account . This is bending to the big money funds to siphon out the small investor . Another socialistic interference into capital markets . Pity the regulators didnt do there job with PFG some years ago when investors lost millions because regulators defied criminal activity .

This is illegal and against retail investors rights! You take our rights and leave it for the politicians. In addition the President doesnt do anything about it is more frustrating. You dont treat Americans like human beings. You are a disgrace to human rights.

Why is the FINRA taking away my ability to invest in the investments that I choose? I am a 34-year-old adult and I know how to be a big boy and take the risks of what I'm doing. Some risks, like driving or guns, have regulations in place because of the harm they place on others. However, what harm do my investments place on anyone but myself? As long as the warnings are in place, then we should be free to regulate ourselves.

Please dont restrict our ability to invest in ETFs. They are valuable investment tools and help hedge high risk portfolios or add options to low risk portfolios to increase returns. Theyre a much better option than high flying stocks with almost no earnings.

.I oppose restrictions to my right to invest

Dear Big Government,

It is not your place to tell me how or where I should invest MY hard earned money. I do not need to take a "test" in order to invest MY money where I see fit.
Like other funds, the prospectus of leveraged and inverse funds fully disclose risks they pose. These funds are important to my overall investment strategy.
