Leveraged and inverse funds are a valuable tool for maximizing
short term gains and protecting your portfolio in volatile markets. I understand the concerns but I think it's a big overreach restrict the use of these funds by individuals.

US citizens should be allowed to invest as they wish. Regulation is nothing short of communism.

I, and absolutely NOT government regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my portfolio. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
And I should NOT have to go through any special process, such as passing a prescribed/regulated test, before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Lastly, leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategy.

The government needs to stop treating us like babies. If people are loosing money because of there own greed then that is their fault. Please don't punish the rest of use due to the ignorance of the few. Survival of the fittest. Lets get one with it!

Public securities and public investments should remain open to the public and not restricted or regulated. Regulation makes them private, not public.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I am capable of understanding leveraged funds and their risks. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies.

Therefore, I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.

I strongly object to the proposal to regulate my access to publicly traded funds. I take responsibility for educating myself regarding the investments I make and for the success or failure of those investments.

I do not support of this proposal. This proposal would severely limit my ability to execute my trading strategy. I do not need protection from these type of funds.

We should be able to freely invest

Let adults be adults and make their own investment decisions. If an adult wants to use leverage in their equity investments they should be able to.

If an adult wants to eat sugar, smoke, drink alcohol or abstain from vegetable that is ok also.

I don't need FINRA acting as my mother. Why don't you regulate congress and their insider trading?
