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.

I am totally opposed to this regulation. Investor should be able to choose leveraged product if he/she choose them .You can warn them before purchase but ultimately it should be their decision to proceed

I've used leveraged funds successfully for many years. They have significantly improved my investment returns while maintaining better capital preservation for investment flexibility. After acquiring years of experience via trading leveraged ETF's I don't want to take on added regulations not do I want to risk losing my right to leveraged trading nor have it limited.

Dear decision makers, I would very much like to retain my ability to invest in funds with complex structures including those with leveraged and inverse models, such as LABU and LABD. These funds are important to my investment strategy and their manner of working is not as complicated as to put anyone at risk. Their mechanics are easy to understand and to explain to anyone. Kindly make it easy and not hard for investors.

It is unfair to take away these important tools for individual investors and once again make them only available to wealthy investors. This new regulation being considered will not accomplish what it is designed to do, and discriminates against average and lower income people.
