As investors, we are perfectly aware of the risks we take when we invest in leveraged funds. We are grown people, and do not require a nanny to lock us out of high-risk investments. This regulation not only stops everyday people from becoming fully capable investors, it is condescending to believe this is for our own good.

I oppose the purchase restrictions. Trading of these types of leveraged funds should be available to all. As an alternative to the restrictions, a requirement could be to allow purchasing after receiving one training course on the risks of these funds. Under no circumstances should trading of these types of funds be limited to only those with a high net worth. An alternative could be a limit on the number of shares which could be purchased. Further, other avenues could be taken such as limiting the marginal accounts to a further degree than they are currently.

I have little money to invest. That is why I use leveraged securities. I would like to make as much as I can with what little I have. To say I need to have a high net worth is ELITIST & RACIST! I should NOT need special approval from my Broker to trade a leveraged security. I know the risks involved! I am NOT ignorant! I know simple math. To put more obstacles in front of me to invest is purely racist, elitist and don't want me to make any money in my investments. JUST SAY NO to your outrageous, ELITIST would be regulations!

I oppose restrictions on my investment decisions. It's my money I should be able to invest it anyway I choose without restriction.

Just curious as to any other types of investments that the government would like me to get prior approval to purchase.

Dear Sir/Madam, It is very important, imperative and urgent request to the management of FINRA to facilitate an individual IRA account holders have the freedom to trade with unlimited number of times with no restrictions. I truly appreciate your understand and supporting long the lines. Thanks & Best Regards, Rajaiah Chinthanippula [REDACTED]

I am investing and trading for years now. I have spend plenty of money to learn all of this. I understand the products I use. Putting restrictions on what FINRA thinks are "complex" funds, will limit my ability to manage risk in a way that works for me. I do not need and I do not want the government to tell what I can or can not do with my money.
At the end of the day: if I give my money to charity, spend it, put a match to burn it, or loose it on Wall Street. It is my decision what I do with my money.

Why are you trying to limit this when you should be investigating the crypto circus?

I feel all Americans should be able to determine their own financial investments without government interference. Leave us alone. If I make a mistake, it is my own fault. That is the price of freedom.

I manage a small RIA firm. In one of our strategies, we use a leveraged S&P 500 fund for some of our clients several times a year when our indicators show the market is trending strongly. We have stops in place and usually exit the position after a few weeks. For several years, we have been able to give our clients some extra return with very little added risk. Please do not take away our access to a liquid product like SSO.
