Greetings,
The FINRA legislation as proposed is very unfair and biased. The investing public in a free market system should be able to buy securities as they choose, as long as they understand the risk associated with it. FINRA legislation his biased against investors with small amounts to invest and gives advantages to institutional investors and high net-worth individuals. The investing game is essentially rigged for the monied class.

I agree with the limitations being proposed. Retail investors are not generally suitable for these products. If an investor is suitable they can pass a simple test to acknowledge their understanding of the risks similar to options or futures enabled accounts.

Everyone should have the ability to invest in products they believe offer favorable chances for returns. If this is removed from retail investor access it should be removed from access by institutions as well.

Imposing laws to prohibit and make it harder for the average person to invest is wrong. Actions like this are the reason many people distrust the government and the top 1% income earners. We should be able to invest our money to build wealth and stability for our families without "tests" and needing "permission" from a broker. Funds help to build out my portfolio especially my IRA account which will only help to make my future financial situation more stable.

Please leave leveraged and inverse ETFs in tact. They allow simple investors like myself buy and sell simple ETFs like stock without having to do complex short trades or PUTS&CALLS which require more sophisticated trading knowledge. The ETFs work very well and simply for average investor. We realize the risk and losses are contained by broker if necessary. Thank you.

We are adult investors and don't need to be micro-managed.

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. I do not believe any regulatory agent should be allowed to restrict any portion of the public from purchasing public investments. I do not believe one should have to pass a proficiency test to be allowed access to investing. Risk is an important component of any investment. Risk is not something that can be regulated away. Each individual investor has to choose an investment strategy balancing their own specific risk-reward comfort level.

It is NOT up to you to decide how I invest MY money.

My money, my choice!

This proposal is unconstitutional and can only be decided by individual states. Additionally you can simply warn people about the risks but not make it more difficult to invest or trade in certain funds as that is an undue burden.
