Limiting my ability to invest in products that I wish to invest in does not help me it only harms the me as individual investor. Restrictions that limit investment based on net worth restricts investment in favor of wealthy individuals and not for the common benefit of all investors.

Being retail investors, we are already restricted in many investment opportunities. We believed that we should be the ones who could choose the public investment that was right for my family and me. In America, freedom should be the most priority, and public investments should be available to all of the public, and not just the riches.

We are comfortable with our risk-tolerant. And it should be us to decide what is suitable for us and not the regulator. The regulator should be there to protect the retail investor and not take away their choices.

As a free American, it should be totally within my rights to invest my money however I choose. Restricting an individuals ability to make their own investment decisions is in direct opposition to free market principles and as such cannot be allowed to happen.

Please DO NOT limit or ban inflows of leveraged ETF products for non-accredited investors. It is NOT fair and unnecessarily exclusionary. Some of us can invest responsibly using these financial products.

Please don't deprive the public from having the same access to investment vehicles as the large institutions. Thank you

I can make MY own investment decisions without the governments involvement!

I mistakenly referred to FINRA regulators as "public servants who work for my government" in my original comment. I missed the fact that this was from FINRA, and not the SEC. I don't need either trying to protect me by limiting my investment choices or requiring me to receive training. I have invested in leveraged funds successfully for many years. They enable me to have a portion of my portfolio invested very aggressively while keeping the bulk of it in more stable investments and income-producing investments.

I invest in Pro Shares and have found it a effective way to invest. Changing it concerns me as it may have a significant negative effect on my investment value.

I understand there are some risks to buy leveraged funds, but I am willing to take the risks.

I have been an active investor for over 30 years, and don't need any government official to decide how I handle my money and investments. Instead of concentrating on retail investors why not focus on insider trading and market manipulation by institutions that trade 24 hours and benefit from high frequency black box front running. Help protect individuals and their hard earned dollars instead of a lopsided trading field.
