Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies.

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.

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

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.

I strongly oppose the proposed regulation of complex products that might include leveraged and inverse funds. The assumption that retail investors do not know what they are doing is flawed. The retail investor should be able to choose investments that are right for them and not the regulators. The investor shouldn't have to go through any course before getting an approval to trade in public securities - like leveraged and inverse funds. We are perfectly capable of understanding these funds and the risks associated with them.

Dear FINRA,

FINRAs proposal is unworkable, and harms investors the definition of complex alone is vague and confusing. It is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the public investment market without unnecessary restrictions
