I fully believe in the freedom of the capital markets and my choice as a participant in those markets to remain unencumbered. There have been too many instances of the elite class not allowing the everyday person to use these markets. I use leveraged products as part of my trading strategy. It helps me greatly to have these products available to me. I think the current prospectus for these products explains how to use them properly.

I should have the right to invest my money as I see fit . It's up to me to learn the pros and cons of different financial instruments . While I'm at it I am tired of calling hedge fund operators who tell me I must have a certain net worth and income to invest in their funds . If I have $20k to invest in these funds they should be more than happy to have me as a client . Thanks .

To all regulators.
I oppose restrictions
on my right to invest in public investments.
I'm aware of the risk and I fully take responsibility for my investments.

I vehemently oppose limitations on MY investments! Please stop this regulation process!

I want the freedom to invest as I see fit.

this is highly illegal and unconstitutional. if you take away the rights of the citizens due to personal opinions i believe that is grounds for a lawsuit and deemed wrong. i will not be okay with this decision.

I'm writing to register my alarm that FINRA is considering restricting leveraged/inverse funds to only certain investors. This is wrong on many counts, as well as requiring classes or passing tests, which amount to hurdles for the public. Many people, self included, use these kinds of investments to increase returns knowing full well they involve extra risks. I believe we're on the cusp of a major breakdown in financial markets (& real estate) worldwide, & have invested a small portion of my assets in such a fund to help protect my financial situation.

This is unfair. We all deserve the same rights of trading than those who are wealthier. Equal opportunity.

As a private investor, who invests to provide an income and retirement savings for my family the FINRA should not limit my access to public investments.

- You should not restrict access to public investments to those that can pass a test that limits access to public investments.

- You should not set income or net-worth limits on access to public investments.

- You should not provide provide elite investors, firms, or others with advantages to increase their wealth that are not provided to the public.

I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family, like using leveraged and invers ETF to hedge my positions when market drops like 2002 and 2008. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
