I should be able to buy whatever securities I like without any government interference. It's a free market and whatever securities that are available to corporations or billionaires should be able to me as well.

Dear communist,
I live in the USA and it is supposed to be a free nation. Stay out of my business. I am 70 years old and well educated in years and school but it should not matter. I do not need you telling me where I can invest my money.

I understand that a key investment vehicle that I use in management of my portfolio may be restricted by the proposed rules. I hope that I and other individual investors will not be restricted by these changes. Many of the systems and trading rules advantage big investors while small investors are unable to achieve the scale or resources to obtain these benefits.

Please don't restrict our access to such things as ETF, leverage or inverse funds by the application of further restrictions on small investors.

Dear FINRA,
My Broker, Fidelity Investments, already imposes stringent rules regarding who can invest in leveraged ETF investment products and makes me read and acknowledge the risks inherent in said investments. There is no need for further government oversight. Qualified investors should be allowed to invest in these products should they choose to do so.

To whom it may Concern,

NO more regulation! Investors in the markets need to have any tool available. Currently and in the past I have used in an inverse exchange product to protect my investments....and it is badly needed.
As an investor, I should be free to use what ever tools I may need without regulation of any kind. I should not have to go through any process to invest as I see fit. People who invest without these tools are at a severe disadvantage. If they are unable to understand the the tools, professional advisers are available to all. My broker posts a notice on these tools in detail.

So I have used leveraged and inverse ETFs for approximately 10 years as a way to channel my investing when I believe a certain segment of the market has been oversold/overbought. Further, I may use them to hedge my existing positions. I believe it's my right to choose these investments as I see fit without having to pass some artifical test. After all, the firms that I trade with have their own disclosures to their client base on these types of investments, which I feel is more than sufficient to protect consumers.

I am writing as a self managed investor in several of the Proshares leveraged funds. I have invested in these funds for more than 3 years. I visit the Proshares website, read the prospectuses and past fund performance, the degree of leverage being offered and the risks involved. The information provided is comprehensive. I am hereby advocating to keep investments in Proshares leveraged funds as they are now.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right, including leverage and inverse funds. I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies

I should not be limited by any regulations in competing on a level playing field with the big guys.
