I not regulators 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. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. I have used leveraged funds as part of my investment strategy for years. Mostly used with indexes and commodities. My most recent leveraged investment is with SDS, which is up about 20% in the last month. I am out of this fund now but suspect this fund will help save my retirement account when the market tanks later this year.

Re: Proposed changes to Options and Inverse Funds

Leveraged and invers funds are an important investment strategy for me and I really would prefer not to go to a special process before I can invest in these securities.
The US should be a free market and remain as such!

The SEC has allowed for cryptocurrency futures like BITO to be created. I know the risks. Please let me trade as I see fit with my investment capital. Its a free market.

Dear FINRA,

I just became aware that you are considering on adding some strict regulations regarding the purcahse of inverse funds and other investments that will affect many investors such as myself.I really hope that is not the case because in my opinon you will hurt more investors than help them. Now I can't speak for every other person that invests in the stock market obviously, but for me these type of investments help give my portolio a good balance when the market makes a big direction change like it has lately for example.

I oppose any special process that makes it more difficult to buy inverse or leveraged funds. I use them as a hedge against other investments, taking into consideration my entire portfolio, not just what is one particular account. These decisions should be left to me and me alone.

I am shocked and surprised that in a free world, attempts are made to restrict our citizens from trading what investment they are allowed to buy.
It is my right to choose which public investment is right for me, and all public investments shall be offered to everyone not just the privileged ones.

I am a private investor with over 30 years of investing experience. My portfolio consists of individual companies, ETFs of various sorts and mutual funds providing a comfortable level diversity. I understand the need for investors with limited experience not to have access to leveraged funds as well as option training without some level of training so they understand the associated risks. I would hope that as regulators explore imposing requirements for this type of investing, it is not strictly made available to "professionals" or institutional investors.
