While leveraged and inverse funds have different levels of risk than non-leveraged finds, the public should have access to these publicly traded investments, not just high net worth individuals. Inverse funds are an important means of hedging without selling a security or ETF short, which is (relatively) lower risk for an investor and an important part of my personal investment strategy. Leveraged funds are also a (relatively) lower risk and more straightforward choice for an investor than options. I use them both long and inverse.

Leveraged ETFs are an important investment vehicle for generating wealth, especially for a small investor like me. Please dont ban leveraged ETFs. Thank you!

They don't own us an we have thr right to do what we want we are not there slaves.

Stop regulating my rights to invest. It is my right.

Investors, like the freedom of speech, need to have the latitude to discern and invest in product of their choosing. The products in which you are attempting to limit, are essential to hedging positions and mitigating directional risk. These tools are also useful in speculative positions, inherent to investors with strong views on market direction. Do not alter our ability to participate in the market.

I am very upset to learn of this proposal. Such ETF's give me a compact way to invest in a group of securities vs. individually, as PART of my portfolio, however I do BOTH, also buy individual securities. I'm very capable capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks and do not need or want to have too pass some test to prove it that is so insulting and invasive!

Keep your hands off of what is not yours!

Investment risk is the responsibility of the investor and not the responsibility of FINRA. Regulation of inappropriate business practices is needed rather than mandates against individual investors.

Please leave are investment options well enough alone. Being allowed to trade freely with our own decisions is a freedom that American's enjoy. Forcing people to go to brokers will make them "broker" and add undo complications. Leave government control of an individual investors money out of the equation.

Please leave the regulations as they are. There is no need for change. Thank you.
