Sir/Madam,
Please do not restrict my ability to make investments in the stock market however I choose to make them. By limiting my access to inverse and leveraged funds, you are effectively reducing my ability to improve the outlook for my retirement future. I am aware of the risks involved, but these risks are, in my mind, no greater than the risk already inherent in the market itself, but with a shorter timespan for profit or loss. As an investor, I am already well aware of that risk, and feel I do not need a government entity to take that opportunity away.

I strongly oppose any new restrictions on certain investments! I (Not regulators) should be able to choose investments that are right for me and my family. I should have the freedom to make those decisions. Public investments should be available to EVERYONE, not just to certain groups that regulators deem as privileged enough to participate!

What are you trying to do anyway take people's rights away to buy stocks on the open market? Do you want to make it so just the insiders and the politicians get first choice and buyers like me get the left-over crumbs!

I oppose restrictions to my right to invest, specifically in leveraged and inverse funds such as SQQQ, AGQ, They are critical tools for investors such as myself to hedge in markets.

I understand the concerns associated with options and leveraged products (2x,3x). However I dont think restrictions should be placed for people with experience. There are other areas that deserve your attention instead of this. We will let our congressmen know as well.

Seems like someone is really interested in keeping retail investors away from leveraged ETFs. They will allow only big boys make money. Let the poor stay poor and rich get richer.

Frankly, [REDACTED]! I don't remember reading headlines where grandma was tricked into loosing her home after investing in an EFT. The fact that my government wants to take this vehicle of investment out of the hands of "ordinary" citizens does not surprise me, but it is YET ANOTHER FACT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVERREACH!

Please continue allowing me the freedom to invest in leverage and inverse funds, without any special, government required mandates I'm aware that these are risky investments, and use them sparingly, mostly to hedge other investments or as an alternatives to options. They are an inexpensive way to get an outsized return. My broker (Charles Schwab) is very good about warning me about the risks of these investments, which is why I use them cautiously. Please allow me the freedom to make my own decisions about my investments Thank you.

FINRAs scheme is misguided because it: Hurts Investors: It could potentially deny us the freedom to choose investments that could help us achieve long-term financial security. Is Arbitrary and Unworkable: FINRAs definition of complex products is so broad, arbitrary and vague that it could ensnare a vast number of commonly used public securities. Tests or Upends Our Regulatory System: Under the long-standing disclosure-based system, investors have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds they want to buy.

Its not necessary to add additional restrictions on leveraged investments.
