I am wholly against any FINRA regulations which would limit how and where I invest my personal funds as long as these investments are legal and in compliance with all with existing SEC regulations.

I am opposed to any legislation preventing me from trading these types of securities. I have been trading options for 15 years, and have been trading leveraged and inverse etfs for at least 10 years. I know how they work and have studied these vehicles at length. I studied options and used practice accounts over 15 years ago before I ever used options. I use options and leveraged etfs as investment vehicles and as insurance/protection. I never put all my money in one investment. When I use options and leveraged etfs, I only use a certain percentage of my total portfolio.

I oppose regulations that will impede my ability to invest in inverse funds and leveraged funds. Whether to invest in such funds should be my decision, which in any event I do with moderation and caution.

I am an experienced investor. Restricting my ability to invest in inverse funds is not right.

Dear FINRA,

To whom it may concern,

Leveraged and inverse funds are an important vehicle to my investment strategies. I believe I should be able to make the decisions on how to allocate my capital by myself, without a use of a 3rd party agency and be free to invest in a vehicle of my choosing. Please consider this letter as a voice against the action to limit the ability to freely invest in leveraged and inverse funds.

Best regards,

Jakub Bednarz

i personally think it should be the right of the investor to invest in any and all equities with out limitation ! In other words NO restrictions in a free market society and investment world ! it is our decision to take risk or not

I not a regulator 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. Wall Street financial advisors are a joke. Anyone can lie the way they do to their clients. I should have access to the same financial products they do. I can decide my financial future better than anyone. Precluding the common man from making his own choices about his own future is the inverse of the principles this country was founded upon.

Investors have the right to invest their money how and where THEY see fit. It is NOT the government's right to determine whether riskier investments should be available, Freedom of investing and the ability to diversify through hedging and shorting should be the right of every individual, not just wealthier individuals who have many avenues in which to diversify and grow their wealth.

I want to have the choice to invest anyway I want without regulators restrictions or test.
