I, as an investor, should have the right to choose the public investments. Public investments should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I have already understood leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Leveraged and inverse funds are a good source to help protect my investment and seek enhanced returns.
I have purchased ProShares, which counter fall in bond prices. These shares have provided great financial insurance during the recent substantial rise of interest rates. It is true that ProShares may be more difficult to understand than "simple" Government bonds, but I understand gain from ProShares versus loss of other investment funds. I also understand the "insurance" cost of ProShares if bond prices were to stay constant. Please do not pass regulations that hamper investment in ProShares and similar funds.
Every [REDACTED] time you "help" me, I get hurt. STOP HELPING ME!
Please stop with the over reach! We should have the ability and freedom to invest as we like.
I believe as a middle class citizen that I have the right to invest in funds. Public investments should be available to all not just the privileged.
Leveraged funds provide a hedge against inflation. Which is at a already high rate as it is now. I personally use them only for a small portion of my portfolio but I can see the use of them greatly. However, yes I do see there risk. As with an investment, of course it is of greater risk then typical
We know what we are doing and we don't need a nanny. Work on the economy and inflation please.

I know what's best for me and my family, I don't need restrictions
I vehemently oppose restrictions from Regulators such as FINRA whom I consider bureaucrats to limit my ability to invest in Leveraged ETFs. I have utilized 3X Leveraged ETFs for over a decade with tremendous success that has enabled me to amass millions in capital gains and has allowed me to retire comfortably. I do not want an investment "nanny" to tell me how I want to invest my own money. FINRA and others must Back Off!!!
I want to continue to buy leveraged and inverse fund.
