Dear Finra,

I became involved in managing my own portfolio as a college student. While I may not be a finance major, as an investor I have had a net benefit to have free access to a variety of financial instruments. Yes, some are "complex" such as inverse funds, but that does not mean that this area of investing needs regulation. It is up to individuals to exercise their best judgement.

I oppose limitations on my investments!

I feel that it is not the government's job to operate as big brother and tell me what I can and can't invest MY money in as far as the stock market is concerned. Inverse and leveraged funds have a place in my portfolio. They are in there for multiple purposes. Most of the time they are used for short term hedges and other times they are helpful in swing trades when the market is going in a specific direction. But I shouldn't have to explain myself to you. Again it's none of your business. You stay on your side of the fence and I'll stay on mine.

No to regulating. Communism

The regulators should govern via guidance and not try to rule. The investors in the market understand the risks involved in trading of Leveraged and inverse funds and do not need to be regulated as suggested.

This is to inform you that there is no need of enhancements to current rules for Brokerage firms. There is already a warning at Brokerage firms and that is sufficient. We know they are short term and monitor them daily. No change is needed. This is in regards to Leveraged and Inverse ETF's. Please do NOT limit access. I depend upon them!

I am a smali investor who uses leveraged and inverse funds as a hedge and to balance my portfolio. I cannot afford to use the option and other derivative strategies that large investors use. Please do not restrict my right to invest in these ETF's.

FiNRA should support , not undermine, small investors like me.

America was founded on the idea of personal freedom and choice. Clichéd, yes, but I think true nonetheless. As long as a choice does not negatively affect anyone else, I feel it should be allowed. We're all adults here and can figure out what to do or not do all on our own.
