As an individual investor, I will OBJECT too much regulatory requirements on investors. It will NOT protect small investors, instead of creates confusion and overhead (which will be added to investors in some way). Most stocks aren't less risky than leveraged and inverse funds are.
Any proposal that testing specialized investment knowledge, demonstrate a high net worth and go though a cooling off period will just sound great, but in real world, it is NOT to do any help to investor..

I don't think we need more regulations or interferance with goverment pertaining to my investments

Please leave investing to investors. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.

This is my right

I do not need some bureaucratic agency to tell me what I can and cannot invest in. Public investments should be available to the public.
I understand leveraged and inverse securities and I use them to hedge my portfolio from time to time. I don't need FINRA to decide whether or not I can utilize them.
Go regulate something that needs regulation or even better enforce the regulations already on the books.

Its my interests to decide my own investment portfolio including Leveraged and Inverse Funds etc. to reach my investment target, NOT limited by regulator.

To Whom,
I am of moderate net worth (under $3M). I am retired and have been trading for decades. I started using leveraged ETFs long ago, and the ample warnings made me research the issues. I did, and I traded accordingly. Yes, risks are higher, but so too are the rewards, and the warnings that explain the risk that come along with these products are what is needed.
The proposed regulations are ludicrous. These same people can get set-up to trade futures! Many of the leveraged ETFs are of much lower volatility.

I believe I should be able to trade in any form as anyone else. It is my responsibility to be in control of my own assets, whether that be good or bad for my financial health - it is still my responsibility.

You have no right to make laws restricting investments.

The investment domain needs to be played on a level playing field. I need to be able to choose the investments I believe will work best for me and my current financial situation. I do not want to go through any special process to be able to choose my investment allocations. The financial markets in the USA need to remain open to all Americans, not just the elites. Regulating these funds would be an imposition upon freedom.
