Its ridiculous you guys wanna control what the small investors can invest in. All in while allowing the big brokerage firms to do whatever they want. You should be worried about how the big firms and not what the little guy wants to invest in. Using leveraged and inverse investments allow the small investors to protect themselves from market downturns but as usual youre more concerned with protecting the big firms and Wall Street

Please allow unrestricted availability of leveraged in inverse ETF's. Many private individuals are choosing to manage their own retirement and investment funds. These instruments provide hedging and seasonal positioning according to market conditions. We simply believe that a hired professional would not put as much attention into the changing market environment as we do. Furthermore, even if the hired professional wanted to, his financial choices are restricted to the approved fiduciary set of narrow options.

The people have a right and the freedom to purchase whatever investments they wish to if they are sound and capable of doing so. FINRA's attempt to regulate the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency is a disgusting example of bureaucratic overreach designed to hold everyday investors back and consolidate control over a valuable asset which has helped financially transform the lives of many individuals in the hands of the elite.

Please allow me to continue make my own decisions regarding investing
I do my own research and have done well doing so.
If I dont understand the risks of certain types of investing, I dont do them. Thank you.

FINRA should not prevent or restrict individual investors from buying a broad range of public securities designated as complex productsspecufically, leveraged and inverse funds. Everyday individual investors should be able to use leverage to their advantage just as larger market participants do.

Completely ridiculous. Let retail investors take on the risk that they want..

I should be able to invest in whatever products I want. I have a PhD and am more than aware of my ability to take on risk and understand the markets.

I should have the ability to choose the investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available not only to the priviledged.

It is in our own interest to decide whether or not we can invest in any public investment, not just the privileged!

Hello, this brief note is to ask regulators not to restrict access to leveraged and inverse etfs. As a woman in her mid 30s with a long investment horizon these vehicles are an essential part of my strategy. Im prepared for larger drawdowns and more volatility, both risks that my broker emphasizes when buying these etfs. I believe that brokers do an appropriate job of warning their customers about the risks associated with leverage, and I prefer to use a leveraged ETF rather than borrowing on margin to secure leverage, which is even riskier. Thank you for your time!
