The idea of putting restrictions on Inverse/Leveraged securities is just a bad idea. 1) These instruments are not that complicated - people can understand them....Typically they are based on indexes (e.g., 2X SPX etc.), that's easier to understand than the inner-workings of any individual company! 2) FINRA, I believe, already requires brokers to display warnings - that's good enough. A warning that these instruments are different is what is needed and that makes good sense. Restricting trading on these by FINRA makes no sense.

It is important that regular investors are not limited in what they can do. It is unfair and unAmerican if only the very wealthiest can participate fully in the financial markets, restricting the growth of wealth to the top 1% or less. Please do not restrict the rights of those fortunate enough to have money to invest.

This is yet another threat to our freedom thanks to the Marxist Biden administration!

With over 50 years experience in the Stock, Bond, Private Equity and real estate businesses I am fully understanding of the risks and uses of inverse ETF's. Please do not restrict their use.

Exchange traded notes play a vital role in the democratization of the public markets. They provide retail investors with vehicles to gain access to asset classes otherwise not availible to them. These products are central to my investment strategy, and I believe the proposed regulations would restrict my rights as an investor. I respectfully ask regulators not to impose these restrictions.

Dear Regulatory Personnel(s),

To Whom It May Concern: Once again it seems we are dealing with needless government overreach. Leveraged trading vehicles for experienced investors provide valuable tools in balancing portfolios, reaching portfolio design goals, and protecting against risk. My families financial future should not rely on yet another bureaucrat making decisions for me or my family.

I as an investor, not regulators should be able to choose public investment which are right for myself & family.

We should not have to go thru any special process or passing a test to use these tools. I am extremely capable in understanding the risks of these inverse and leveraged funds.

These leverage and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them to protect downside risk and increase returns. By having lower priced assets and controlled stops, I can use these tools very effectively to keep my portfolio in balance during volatile times.

I can pick my own investments, my money not regulators. I am capable of understanding the risk of my investments and do not need to take a course or pass a test to buy leveraged or inverse funds or ETF's. Leverage and inverse funds are important tools to help hedge the risk and create large profit opportunities in both up and down markets.

I trade both stocks and options and want to keep the government out of my trading.
